If you're on the lookout for old MX Blues, this should have Blues.  The caps aren't too bad in terms of thickness, but aren't anything amazing.

It's interesting how this keyboard was listed several times, starting at $40, and got no bids. Then, finally, the seller doubled the starting price and sold it for $80 + shipping.

Geekhack is the ebay junk keyboard seller's dream. Anything that can't sell will do better once posted here, because it will therefore carry the geek's imprimatur of interest.
