So did you end up winning it? Because that's a helluva steal.

I love the look and feel of this keyboard. It's just about beaten out all of my other boards to become my daily driver.

No, I didn't bid on it as I already have one.  And yes I love mine as well.  I was just sharing the deal, hopefully someone here got it.

It's a PITA but find I do get used to it after flailing around for a while initially.
