Remember, the forum is "great finds", not "great deals".

It is interesting.  I'm guessing it's a Futaba switch.  http://deskthority.net/wiki/Futaba_complicated_linear

GRI uses a futaba-alike (http://www.flickr.com/photos/triplehaata/sets/72157635354802296/) switch (http://www.flickr.com/photos/triplehaata/sets/72157635355117086/) in some of his KBs (http://www.grisk.com/pushbutton/kbm-lp.html), but there certainly are GRI KBs with very awesome (https://plus.google.com/photos/113845661925823397356/albums/5810508443443189473) switches (http://www.grisk.com/pushbutton/series_kb.html) in them.

anyone here get it? I see best offer was accepted. Given what the BIN price was, and how ... uncommon GRI keyboards usually are, I'd say whoever got it got a good deal.
