Oh sad. Those are a common rubber dome mount (maybe Key Tronic?) that don't work with any of the usual mechanical keyboards (Alps, Cherry, Topre, IBM buckling spring, etc.) without quite a lot of modification.
I would toss this one in the recycle bin unless someone were really excited about it.

I've never really understood that weird spacebar shape. I couldn't possibly imagine how badly stabilized it is, especially on a cheapo board.
I actually keep rubber dome boards around a lot. In fact, I often restore various rubber dome boards just for the fun of it. Since I work with old computers, they are very helpful and some of them have an awesome keyfeel (like my semi-old HP keyboard with BTC domes which feels awesome in my opinion).
If it's old and unusable, I often just part out the keyboard so I have spare domes/keycaps/etc. when desired.
You can actually produce some very favorable results by switching up domes and keycaps. Very cheap, abundant in almost any thrift store/recycling center and it's not too much of a loss if you mess something up.
