Looks like an ergonomic version of the keyboard that keeps selling for $150-200, so I don't know why it's still so low. Ends in about an hour.

edit: noticed my pwn-alike typo, lol.

The keys are pretty worn and the seller had accidentally pulled off one of the ALPS switches while trying to remove a key cap.

For the second one, he didn't say it right, but he said he pulled the switch apart. He said that he just had to reassemble it, and that the part that's soldered in was all that was left on the inside. Which means that it wasn't entirely ripped out and broken.
