I hadn't gotten into the keeb hobby yet when I was using those, so I'm not sure what kind of switches they were. I work in a different part of the store now but I might pop into the lab and have a look when I get a chance.

For those wondering, this is a controller for a Noritsu commercial printer for printing photos. You use this keyboard to perform colour corrections on the photos before printing. You use the arrow keys to select a photo, and then YMCD (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Density) to select the parameter to adjust, and then the -, N (Neutral), + keys to make adjustments. It's extremely fast and efficient once you know what you're doing. The screen displays 6 images at a time, and a fast person would spend less than one second on each image. You need that kind of efficiency when you're dealing with thousands of photos.

D is for density. Higher density is darker, lower density is lighter.
