This seller has quite a few of these things.

Cool, I like those big honkin key caps.  Are the switches and caps cross-compatible with Cherry?  Are switches linear, tactile, clicky?

Interesting.  I like the spherical keycap covers.  Looks like they come in white (http://cgi.ebay.com/10-pcs-White-Keyboard-4x4-keys-16-keys-Metal-Panel-/130387015086?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1e5babf5ae), blue (http://cgi.ebay.com/10-pcs-White-Keyboard-1x5-keys-5-keys-Metal-Panel-/140403379623?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item20b0b18da7) and black (http://cgi.ebay.com/10-pcs-White-Keyboard-2x5-keys-10-keys-Metal-Panel-/130387016472?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1e5babfb18) stem versions.  Tactile, clicky and linear, maybe?

It's hard to say without having one in hand. I have not bothered to ask the seller any questions.
