The price is on the high side but I do like the blue legends.

I do like the blue legends.

They're pretty much standard, at least on all of the 6110347's I've owned.

That may be the case with this particular part number. The F122 I bought is missing the original label as it was relabeled as a Model M so I do not have the original part number. Mine does not have the blue legends.

I noticed this is in Taiwan, which explains why U.S. shipping is $70—more than 2x the usual cost.

And regarding the $335 BIN price—can't you still get F-122s in decent shape for around $200 these days?

I'm just trying to understand the "Great" part.

It may not even have the original keys for all I know.
