I got two of these from them a while back. Arrived in decent enough shape, well packed, etc. The KB's themselves were dusty and were heavily used like in the pictures.

worst part about desoldering these is doing two extra joins per switch for those jumpers. C'mon cherry! Diodes aren't THAT expensive.

too bad browns are no longer in shortage.

they could have furnished a heck lot of keycaps for people who need them.
