You can always ask clickclack for more info. (Damn you and your collection clickclack!)

This Mitsumi switch pops up in weird places, like this: http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/smk789xp.html

That thing is basically the SteelSeries 6Gv1 with Cherry Browns and Mitsumis for the media keys. Makes me wonder when SMK actually exited the keyboard business.

It's cheap (for now), but I'm not a fan of such thin doubleshots. Does anyone know if the switches are worth it?

Does anyone want to explain to me why this went for $490?

I dunno: it jumped from $14 to 485. Maybe they got a friend to bid for them..?

Holy WTF? Even if they got a friend to bid for them, they would have to pay a cut to Ebay, and that's no small amount of money when an item sells for almost $500.

Someone else jumped in and got it for $490.99... Good lord!  "6000M" also has a lot of hits for ATI cards and audio equipment.  It could be a very sad day for someone who has an buying-bot set up with a substandard matching algorithm.

Must be the clickclack effect.
