I am using it, and so far it has not disappointed. It produces a somewhat tinny and sharp tactility, but it's a welcome change after using two months of Topre. I might even say it's more of a tactile switch rather than a clicky one, since the clicky noise is so soft.

This one came at a cost of roughly CAD$100, but shipping was $65 from Japan. Granted, it only took 4 days to arrive in Toronto after the order was placed.

I've got the IBM branded one, and I have to say it's one of my favourite keyboards. However I think the IBM 5576-002 is better since it produces less of a clangy noise and requires slightly more force, even though they have the same switch. I'm thinking that it must be because of the smaller case, which allows less room for the sound to reverberate around.

All of them will be charging you a significant premium according to my understanding.
