#1 the box displays a differnet keyboard than the packaged product:
the box shot:

what you get:
Did you notice it? The box shot shows cream coloured keys with the alternative darker grey ones. The actual product is only pure cream coloured keys.
Then what's the whole thing with USB & PS/2 support? The seller says:
PS/2 to USB Adapter is Required for USB port application.
USB Adapter is NOT Included in this auction, but can be purchased on Ebay.
Oh nice!
Then comes the over-exaggerated boasting of "how great" this product is:
THIS RARE & HARD-TO-FIND IBM RAPID RESPONSE KEYBOARD IS BRAND-NEW IN THE ORIGINAL RETAIL BOX.
ORIGINAL RETAIL PRICE: $79.95
First of all its a chicony, secondly they're not hard to find at all! They are better than most rubber domes, and I wouldn't pay $70 for it.
This reminds me of the time one ebay seller was selling some standard black IBM rubber dome keyboards saying "THESE ARE TRUE IBM ONES, NOT THE LESSER QUALITY LENOVO ONES", and on the boxes it showed "manufactured for lenovo". The newer IBM rubber dome keyboards are kind of nice (I adore the mighty lavender enter keys), but too mushy like all modern rubber domes.
