They're not mechanical switches but you never got those on budget 8-bit computers anyway. Compared to a speccy keyboard these were exceptional.

Does it? Unlike a lot of micros the CPC's really don't have many capacitors present internally that can fail - the functions that usually need electrolytics are basically done inside the dedicated monitor instead. Recapping is almost never needed.
