I don't have any keycaps to go with these switches so I can't say how hard they are to remove — someone with an Apple Adjustable Keyboard will know the answer to that.

I don't know of any series now with switches that are short front-to-back — that was an Alps peculiarity and all those series are gone. However, NOS SKFR and SKFS switches are still available, but I don't know off-hand if the yellow ones are still sold, as the chap I bought them from no longer sells parts. The problem with those is that you'd never get new keycaps for them.

I've looked at the photos, and you've not shown the switch or the model number.

Don't know if this is appropriate tread for this, but is it compatible with topre. As it seem, it's Mitsumi slider over membrane, but slider (plunger) doesn't look like traditional mitsumi.

Thanks in advance.

It's a keyboard off a Sanyo MBC-17PLUS, a budget late 80s PC. Other than that, there seems to be no information as to what it actually is. Only seen one more on some local classifieds that doesn't mention anything about the keyboard either (apart from that it's a "DIN keyboard")

Slider showing on number 8, 3rd Gen Leaf

That board just doesn't seem vintage enough for Leaf Spring to me. Wanted to scoop this up, too, before I had a closer look at the pictures...

About half have lost their click. 4 pin connector. Two position slide switch, unlabeled, presumably AT/XT? Brown Enter key, etc., Macro key next to left Shift. Stamped caps. Some sort of luggable?
