Can it be used with X window system? X windows has key codes 0xFD01 to 0xFD1E for the 3270 terminal keys. I don't know the meaning on the actual IBM terminals, but they seem to match the key codes that are defined in X windows.

> There is also a solenoid inside the enclosure, but since the keyboard is not powered up, this was not being activated — and these are seemingly particularly loud! But why? The teletypewriters, paper terminals and card punches which preceded such early “glass teletypes” would have been very noisy indeed, hence it was decided that terminals like the IBM 3278 would need to provide much more positive feedback than simply that provided by a clicky switch module.
Reading this, I thought it could not possibly be true -- the keys are so loud and clicky already. But it turns out it actually was the case, as demonstrated here:
At the risk of dating myself, I’m still looking for a keyboard as good feeling as this.

I've never used them, so I can't vouch for them, but it seems like beam spring keyboards are available. Have you tried any of these? https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/store/

I ordered the round 2 beam springs from this guy like 2 years ago. They are still in production.

I never had the pleasure of using one of those. For me it was seeking the feel of a DEC VT-102.
