Here's something kool. Yes kool, because Kustom Electronics Inc is too kool for skool.
Not only that, but this thing...was made in 1988, with upgrades in 1994. wtf

It uses those Honeywell Micro Switch ST switches (domes) as well as a lone linear switch for the Emergerd key. I'm not familiar with this particular switch (labelled 01257, has about a 40'ish g weighting) and likely electrical contact. Unfortunately it was heat welded together so I'd have to destroy the switch to open it up

Oh, at that neat design on the switches, that's just the plastic getting ready to shatter

Sadly, I don't have the power supply so I don't really have any means of trying to turn it on.

Great found with this micro switch membrane! What a strange switch on Emergerd key!
I didn't know this switch called Micro Switch ST when I made a full clean and disassemble on my TELEX COMPUTER 88ST13-3E-J keyboard at Sep2015!
I just called it for Micro switch dome with slider. And the switch was great to type and some variant especially the space bar including two switches! Left one is (Linear)Grey shell black slider with orange dome; right one is (Tactile)Black shell&slider with grey dome! You should take a look on your space bar!
The (Linear)Grey shell black slider with orange dome is definitely linear if your put it on one key to test. And I made the comparing video with Linear and tactile variant when I assemble them.
Will find the time to edit the photo perfectly and share here.

Shame about not being able to power it on, would have loved to see how that keyboard front light or whatever it is looks when turned on
