Good find, and being a plastic moulded-cased shouldn't have issues with IC falling off - Although I presume there's room in the key switches to fit these, as may be a bit thicker.

I presume that distributor will ship to the UK for not too much (Although may now get stung for retrospective VAT & handling fees on any value order from outside the UK, if the seller doesn't automatically add it in advance that some online marketplaces now do), but looks like you have to do your own translation of their website's Czech language).
And hopefully there aren't too many that are broken, otherwise it could cost a bit (not sure if their price was in Euro's, so 3-4 Euros each?), plus a workaround for the Keyboard encoder putting -12V out can be sorted, and it does still produce the right outputs.
