This looks pretty worth considering.

It's a 104-key though, and it seems as though most people prefer the TKLs.

Looks like his starting bid of $190 on it previously was too high.

The High-Profile Realforce's specially designed high-profile cupped keycaps complement professional data-entry applications by preventing finger slips and reducing hand travel away from the home row.

It might just be me, but I'll probably never own a 104 key Realforce again. It just didn't feel as solid as the TKL's
