HMB-35957U-22 Oki Spring

Not a great deal, per se, but it's an interesting and less common find.  It's good if you want something totally different for bragging rights:

I don't see the similarity between this board and the one RZW has. The FCC ID, country of origin, product number, keycap profile, and font are all different.

If it is OKI gourds, then very rare (this side of the ocean) indeed. These are on par with model Ms quality wise, and I prefer the feel of the clicky one in many ways.

He has two in that link, one tactile, one linear.  The main one isn't the same, but the second that he barely touches on matches the one I linked in model number.  Sadly, no FCC ID was given.

I didn't specify which Oki spring switch it is since I wasn't 100% sure from that post.  It might not be the gourd, but the other Oki switch.
