Leaf springs are different switches. Unicomp makes buckling spring keyboards - which are not "the equivalent" of IBM's Model M keyboards, but they actually are the current brand which makes the original Model M keyboards. (They were branded "Lexmark" earlier - after IBM had founded a spin-off company for them.)
They have become less sturdy over the years though.
