Out of a Unitek K-260. Only markings are 103 on top and B39 on bottom. Any idea of the manufacturer?

Also, does anyone have any history on Unitek's keyboards? Couldn't find anything in the Wiki for them.

Looks like Hua-Jie AK-DN2 switches to me. Do they have mantis foot (copper) leaves or Alps-like (steel) leaves?

Chyros! Thanks for the response. I will get back to you on this when I have time to pull another switch apart. I should have looked closer before putting it back together.
Interesting that the article on the AK-DN2's, which I think Daniel wrote, indicated "linear Alps clones are extremely rare." I did not know this.
Anyway- I will try to get to another switch yet this weekend.
More info on the board they're in here if interested:

I just noticed you didn't actually specify whether they are tactile, clicky or linear xD . Which one are they? If they are linear, they will not have any leaf, so don't bother looking in that case

Argh, I'm sorry- that obviously didn't register with my brain.
Yes, of course- no leaf. These are linear.

Your Unitek K-260 was manufactured by NTC (Nan Tan Computer Co.). Same as K-258. It seems Unitek used NTC and Dah Yang as OEMs for lots (if not majority) of their projects.
