Any feels this is suspicious?

I'm window shopping again, and I see the above keyboard. Corsair K95.

Note that the main picture is extremely blur.

Seller doesn't have much feedback.

His camera or the lighting conditions aren't to blame. As you can see, most of the photos are actually quite clear. Just the main photo is blur as heck.

What I suspect, is that it's not New Other and 'Rarely used'. It's heavily used with badly worn keycaps. Seller has already shown us he's ethics challenged, by calling the keyboard 'new other' when he also admits it's used, lacks a box, etc.

Still, anyone who wants to try his luck, please feel free to go ahead. Starting bid $59. I ain't gonna be part of the action. And please don't put this in great finds. I think it's too risky.

well, I would say his keys are probably shiny. 

Ask seller for a better pic of the keys.  Especially WASD and space bar.

If he's honest, he will post or send better pics.  If he refuses, then he's just another ebay doucher.  There are plenty more where he came from.

reminds me of MS Window's posts

Just ask for better pics and see if he/she delivers.

The keys look mostly fine in the second and last picture. If you're that concerned though I'd just message him asking for a clearer picture of the keys

He comes from Saint Paul. Normally what do you call that kinda guy? A Saint-Paulian? A Saint? A resident of Heaven?

So you want to say that there's more ebay douchers from the Saints? And that coming from a New Yorker?   :)) [When I was growing up, and that was decades ago, New York was like this Metropolis of Crime, this gotham-like hell.]

I notice someone has bid. At $59 it definitely is still ok since you can always swap out the keycaps for your favorite customs. But I'm guessing with so many noobs loving Corsair, auction will end at over $95 and some noob out there is gonna be disappointed.
