The Can Technology buckling spring is a buckling spring switch manufactured by Can Technology (also known as CAN, Syncan and Cheng Ya/Sheng Ya).

Can Technology keyboards do not have removable barrels or a separate barrel plate — the slider guide shafts ("barrels") are moulded into the upper case of the keyboard itself. They also have a distinctive cruciform cross section, instead of the circular shape of IBM barrels.
