Look is presently making a really cheap Keo pedal with which the mechanism does not contain a spring but rather the rear flex is created by the locking mechanism being connected to the with a flexible
plastic molding. It seems to work pretty good though I don't know anything about the longevity.

Which one? Not that I use clipless though I have used SPD’s in the past.

Do seem to have more material flex in bike stuff of late, be that seat
posts to Laff suspension forks, and the hover bar and what not.

They are called Look Keo Flex but the mechanism simply makes me too nervous since I might be 30 or more miles from home and don't want a mechanism failing and me having to walk home or wait for a ride. So I put them on a shelf to use on a grocery store bike.

discontinued.

Given cheapness, it may be that they distribute in different channels,
going through vendors that don't sell other Look lines.

I know that happens with other products. One that I can think of HP
laptop computers that don't have a line name (e.g., HP 250 or HP 655).
You may find those at places like Amazon, but you won't find on HP's web
site.
