11900 Again! Seems as though they keep liquidating this model.

Its the same used 119's that this seller has been selling for a while. I contacted them before and they offer cheaper prices if you buy in bulk.

I have a couple of these and like them pretty well. In fact, they are the only Cherry switch keyboards I own.
The touchpads are particularly nice.
My son has used one for a year and it is his favorite.

Well, I do like them too, but I have too many... got the trackball version 11800 also. These are some of the best keyboards for a crowded office desk. TKL works for gamers not people who need to use numpad. The small size and light weight also make it a great keyboard to use with a laptop.
The main disadvantage (not 100% fair criticism I know) is that although trackpad is very good quality, you can't game on it. So this keyboard is purely for programmers, office workers, etc. Absolutely not recommended for any gamers. I'm long over the days when I did gaming on trackpads just because only the laptop was available over summer hols. Believe me, I would game until my fingers hurt from the millions of micro-impacts when using the trackpad. And that was turn based gaming - no way to play RTS or FPS like this.

MX blacks right?
Easy to switch mod?
Can anyone tell me roughly what condition they got theirs in?

Other people got them pretty dirty. Lots of skin cells and hairs.

yes, relatively, mine were very very dirty and dusty but otherwise in good shape. I got the black ones with POM, though. I also recommend replacing the microswithes under the trackpad buttons. Some people like omron, but I prefer cherry microswitches, which is what this uses.
I took a lot of pictures of them, but haven't posted any, I can upload them if you like.

Wasn't yours BNIB?
I think mine was a different seller don't remember but it looks brand new except the beat up box.

I got two of those and both arrived pretty gross :-X
