What kind of keyboards are people modifying for DIY use?

I have three different old keyboards here... one Sequential Circuits 
Six-Track and two Casios.  I disassembled them with an eye towards 
cannibalization and found identical rubber-bubble type contacts.

On exploring further, I tried to ohm-out the switches on the keys and found 
a fairly consistant 150 to 200 ohms is the best I could do.  Is this typical 
for this style switch?  My guess is this resistance would reign havoc with 
the EFM keyboard controllers (asking as they do for 100 ohm @ 1% tolorance).
