Looks like the same switches as the Fujitsu Peerless (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:15653) (see link to pics at bottom of review).

They are mostly disliked on the forum, except for one hard-core guy.
There was even a member in the UK who offered me one for just the price of postage (which is less than the keyboard in the auction costs). If I did not want it, he was going to throw it away.

Thanks, i'll skip this one then. Too expensive for trying out some odd switch.
The seller has another fairly interesting keyboard aswell if anyone is interested.
Chicony Keyboard KB-5582 with trackball and MX Blue switches according to the seller.

Definitely a Fujitsu Peerless switch. You will almost certainly not like it.
