I've seen that type of contacts in keyboards from the 90:es, scrapped a number of them too.
As I remember (and seen in the second from last picture), there is two gold plated pieces in each key, a small band across the flat flexible surface and the contact point pressed into the center of the rigid plate. To cut down on chemicals and space I cut off the band with scissors and popped out the contact point by bending the plate. The rest is brass and copper.
I don't have any yields on these components, I just tossed it in among all my pins and other gold plated scrap.
As for the keyboard, it was called Microsoft Natural keyboard.
