AFAICT, the company that used to make the "Avant" Omnikey clones was
Creative Vision Technologies, and they seem to have gone out of around
2009. There are reviews of the Avant keyboards from a few years ago
(that mention the FCC ID of the keyboards contains the string
'omnikey'). But, nobody sells the avant keyboards, and CVT seems to be
gone.
