Expensive but cool I think, although I'm not loving the yellow keys in the example.
It would look achingly cool with blank black keycaps.

Why don't taobao people take down listings that aren't in stock?

Man, it'd probably be way cheaper and easier (and take less time since that things in China) to just make your own lol

Think of it as advertisement, you find a listing it's there you go and look through the seller's store, more listing more exposure

Nah, even in Chinese it says it's in stock, Taobao works in a weird way haha

Full of hideous!  Why would you want to mask the lovely lines of the Topre?  Plus... It'll be a B***h to fit on your table. Sucks if you're tight for space.
