That's the regular price. The column to the right of that shows the sale price.

It has a deep key chassis with the switches about halfway down -- which I liked. You can't beat it for the price. The only thing I didn't like was the small windows/menu keys on a full size board.

Edit: Scratch that, price went up to ~$60. $0.58 per switch. Ouch.
