Looks OK and the price is fair and reasonable.
I really considered it, not because I need another one, but to re-sell at a higher price.
The board is cheap-ass but the switches are exquisite. I can't get past the small "Backspace" personally.

It's gone. Nice find though!
fohat, you have to get yourself some blue alps.

My dilemma is this: I am just getting too old to feel good with different layouts. I already use an F-122 as my daily driver, so even the move back to a straight-ANSI Model M, without the function keys on the left is starting to unnerve me.
Then when I use my laptop, forget it. I am looking down to find keys all the time, especially my beloved "Delete"
I almost bought one of didjamatic's boards a few weeks ago, an ancient caseless something with just the right blues for well under $100. I would have transplanted them into an AT101, but that is another time-consuming project and I have a dozen of those already.
Also, I have replaced a few switches and found it to be a difficult pita, removing over 200 switches and then putting over 100 back is not something that sounds like fun to me.

where do you have your "delete" key on your F-122? Mine didn't come with "delete" at all.

I think he reprogrammed it so he has a normal six pack.

Yes, I have the board as close to ANSI-standard as possible, with the 2nd Escape on the numpad where the Numlock used to be, and with Windows taking the place of F10 on the left function set.

My F122 came with truly weird key layout ('Data Entry') but I swapped the keys from a Model M to it. With Soarer's converter, the Delete key is in the normal place by default.
