Cherry clears, PBT doubleshot keycaps; it'll probably look as good as new even after several years of use.

If you do buyitnow it'll be 125 shipped which I consider a bit high. Any winning bid under 85 (100 shipped) is a good deal.

There are 3 watchers now, lets see if my post can increase the number of watchers!

One issue with this unit - the "8" key no longer lights up.  I guess I pounded that key a few too many times.  The characters work fine just no light on that key.  Look at the pictures, you can see all the rest of the letters light up.

That can happen to any keyboard that uses LEDs.  Just needs someone to replace that one.

Good question.  The Clear model comes with both white and blue backlights, so it can be Clears.  Can also be Blacks.  But "responsive behavior" might lean toward clears?  Perhaps he answered a PM and explained what it was.

now how did I miss that comment?

should I lock this thread? Fixing an LED is beyond most people, including me, heh. I guess I'm just not in the market, being mostly window shopping for fun.
