Yes, there is a good thread about it. I'll try to find it later (on mobile at the moment)

Pingmaster, alps skcc green, typing on one now. Extra smooth and delicious.

You can either wire a teensy to it, or you can take the easy rout and e-mail hasu for his tmk4704 for 45 bucks.

Currently I use it as my school driver, I love it. Takes a week to get used to it, has a fairly short throw, 3mm, but its my fastest typer.
