Yes, there have. But now it s supply is almost empty. I have talked to cherry and they are produced on demand and the last batch was 3 years ago(they are still in production).
Interesting, I talked to cherry and they said it was a moq of 1000.

He couldnt get me an exact price. But the guy estimated 1.5 dollars per switch
Wow, lots of replies, thanks everyone for the info. Is there an infographic or maybe somewhere on the geekhack wiki that contains an exhaustive list of all the switches ever been produced/sold? Dorkvaders post has piqued my curiosity.
OKI gourd spring: these appear in Japanese keyboards, or Keyboards made by Japanese companies. The best option is to talk to your friends in japan, where they aren't quite so rare.These can also be found in Copam keyboards in the West. Made in Taiwan. I once passed on buing one in Swedish layout (silly me..)
I'm hoping to find a kb with Brown clicky Alps, i've read of only one TI model reported having thoseDo you mean brown tactile Alps? (They aren’t clicky.) http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCM_Brown

They are trying to get the 4000 MOQ over on DT.
Can you link to to where they are trying to do that?
I was wrong, I already have that 5140 and the switches are linear, i was referring to tactile browns not clickyThe switches in the main section of the IBM 5140 are brown Alps, the same kind as in the last post on the page you linked to. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCM_Brown

The only person I've seen talking about MOQ of 1000 is a guy on DT who found a manufacturer making copies of the MXLOCK switch.
