You want to scavenge it for switches? The keys are crap, and the amount you will make on used switches won't justify the cost

Unfortunately I'm in Canada and since Newegg has a Canadian branch they don't ship to Canada from the US.

The reason I stumbled across it is that I need MX browns and back-light capable Caps to test my ErgoDOX RGB Backlight Edition PCBs.

I have not tried the Logitech Caps but I figured this might be a cheap option to test everything out, perhaps I should start a thread for recommendations on back-light capable caps?

If you want backlit keys just buy the ducky ones from mk.com

Thanks for the tip, I looked at them earlier but it seems the only "shine" caps they are offering are the grey Nordic and Thai:

They also have translucent keys but I'm not sure if they would demonstrate the colors well.

This keyboard has been $100 a number of times when its gone on sale brand new, not really worth it imo for refurb if you're patient enough and willing to wait to get brand new for $20 more.

As far as I know maxkeyboard only has translucent key caps, where the whole cap is translucent minus the print, I was hoping for something where the only translucent part would be the letters.
The only backlit key caps that I know of on Ebay are Ducky grey/whites being sold by qtan which are tempting, might end up getting those since people seem to agree that the Logitech caps are crap.
