Linear Futaba clicky switches / another left-handed keyboard

Another Futaba clicky switch keyboard:

Except apparently it's not:

"The keyboard has a 101 key layout (i.e. no windows keys) and uses non-tactile mechanical keyswitches (i.e. you don't feel a click when you press the keys)."

There have been rumblings that linear Futaba clicky switches do exist, and this appears to be good evidence to suggest that they're genuine (i.e. not knackered clicky switches).

Looks like we really do need a new name for them.

Possibly Futaba second generation?

I've written to RecycledGoods to see if I can repost their keyboard photos to the DT wiki.
