Haha, I think these are kind of funny. Looks like pad print ABS, but maybe Alps mount based on the AEK in the background. Cheap too. http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k205129789

Heh I know where to get some, but you'll have to wait until I buy mine since I don't want competition on my auctions.

There are plenty of these keyboards available, but the seller only lists 2-3 at a time because he knows he'll get higher bids that way.
