I'm calling it now as a rubberdome with cherry compat thin dyesubs (because I have a similar one with an identical stepped enter).

Pics when I reach a computer.

Meh.. the stepped enter is pretty common. You could be totally right, but I hope you're wrong.

It would be quite funny to have those mx-compatible sliders (on top) also compatible with topre (underneath).

Spoiler:

Yeah, that's similar.. we'll see when I get it. I really can't complain, because I got it for free. Only paid for shipping (2 Eur).

I found this keyboard on Ebay and was wondering what the switch is on it if any of you have an idea

Almost certainly rubberdomes.

Sweet, not worth my time

Looks a lot like a BTC foam and foil.

Looks just like a Cherry G84 clone or something. Here's a photo of the switch found on Google Images (dome with slider it appears):

Interesting... The story continues...

It's made by Solid Year, who are known for slider over dome designs:

Cool thanks!

plenty of things of interest there to a vintage computer enthusiast like myself, I would definitely take a trip there if I were you. cant tell you much about the circled system, however it looks a bit like a commodore PET.

That looks an awful lot like my Sperry Univac Viewing Screen. It has a Hall Effect board on it

What switches is the Ampex 230 using?

The bottom two rows of keycaps look like space invader keycaps.

What is this?

looks like a keyboard with an integrated printer

Actually it`s a scanner 8-()

It's a variation of those 'paper port' keyboards. At least I think that's what they were called. It's a scanner, like bluefox said. There's another model on Ebay somewhere at this moment I believe.

Finally, here we go:

wiki/File:Tai-Hao_brochure_(1990s).pdf

The whole brochure scanned in high resolution (11 pages, 16 MB), showing several TH-5539 models as well as various views inside of the factory. It's not dated, but Felly thinks it's from the 90s, and that would appear to be the case too.

Can anyone ID the keyboard in the picture? It looks like some XT clone, which they just put on top of an IBM system, because it looks vintage. ish.

Which slider over dome is this? (Model number is K-455)

Those switches were on sale on AliExpress for some typically extortionate fee. I'm not sure what would have happened if someone decided to (My Little) pony up and order some — would they run the keyboard through a band saw and slice off a section, complete with dome sheet, slider plate, membranes and sliders?

The IC is marked "Copam", who are a known keyboard manufacturer. (Whether the owned a factory or just subcontracted the manufacturing work like Costar et al do, I don't know.)

Has anyone seen one like this? What is it and what sort of slider / switch is that?

Fujitsu Peerless?

wiki/Fujitsu_Peerless

Nope, this one has a slider that sits inside a guide shaft. The keystem has snapped off — chances are it's cruciform mount. Most likely membrane of some kind. Curious enter key: looks to be 1/4 u wider than normal.
