Spotted it trawling for interesting caps... nice and colorful.

Hey, another cheaper one...

Second one looks nicer, but standard F keys.

F keys on the first one look badly worn.

I think that AEK II and Apple Design and entirely different boards, I think I remember having a "Design" that was awful.

Yes, the Apple Design Keyboard is a rubber dome in a rounded case. But both these auctions are AEK II.

Sorry my bad, not up on the Apple stuff too much. There was some design I have seen before with the same editing caps, and was not sure as I don't know all of the relevant part numbers.

What's up with the ESC on #1? It looks sunk in or something.
