This (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Computer-Remarketing-Corporation-Keyboard-/190606595386?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2c6109d53a) is a quite interesting yet useless looking keyboard.

Now i see where the Round 3 group buy was coming from.

I have to say, the overall color scheme of the board is quite nice.

Not really: It's still cheap, is 21 years old, and has good-looking keycaps. If it has decent keyswitches, some people will be jealous of you. I've paid more than it's currently listed, just for the privilege of taking apart a broken electronic device.

Nonfunctional keyboards are all the rage there.

You can make it functional pretty easily with a teensy. You don't even need a PCB to do it.

Me, I'm planning on buying a WYSE 30 terminal keyboard and restoring it. It'd be like a poker, but better!
