This is from a current ebay auction that says it's from a company called Data Electronics (can't get any more generic lol). Anyone know what switches these are? Keycaps look almost like Micro Switch keycaps

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Not a keyboard, but can anyone help me identify which keyboard these keycaps came from? They seem to fit SKCC Greens and SKCC Creams perfectly (not tall Creams; though you could force it on there and it'll be snug, but secure)
