I read that this is just an introductory price. I'm wondering if they are still paying some costs for the problems in Japan.
Unfortunately (of course for the people living there) there were some "catastrophical" issues in Japan. Surely everyone has heared of.
Since then the electronic component industry does not give any order confirmation dates at all because they do not know all the global dependencies.
Ordinary mechanical buttons like tact switches are cheaper but a capacitive switch like this offers some variety.

Maybe some sort of unique game interface?
