A bit of a weird item to put on auction but still cool! I wonder if it will end up selling at a reasonable price.

Mk.com sells 50 for $30 and 100 for $50.. so i'd say $35 or $40 is a reasonable price.

One difference is that mechanicalkeyboards.com lists their clears as PCB mount, and these on eBay are plate mount. I was going to get some of the clears from mk.com to mod a QFR until I saw that. How long do we have to wait for a reasonably priced board with clears?

All that you have to do is clip off two small plastic legs to make the PCB mount into plate mount.
