Yeah I have never seen a buckling spring switch offered. I thought they only existed in vintage IBM boards. I am totally intrigued to try them.

You can get them new if you're OK with row-stagger, non-split keyboards. Unicomp sells them.

I'm really tempted to try to find an old Model M to refurbish, just to have it. I don't think I can use them anymore; holding my hands like that is just painful now. But I'd like to have one, for nostalgia.
