Saw this one posted on /r/mechmarket (http://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/2f86q7/wtswttusaorrare_datalux_spacesaver_moduw/), seller says they're open to trades as well.
I've never seed this board before, looks really neat and the profile is pretty crazy. No idea if $90 is fair.

Not really a good deal. These are not really rare and can find same/similar (flat version) model on ebay for as low as $20 pretty often. They have MEI switch which are generally viewed as quite poor.

Good to know!

Strongly agree. I owned one before and it was the suckiest keyboard I had ever used in my life.
Anything with MEI switch, people should pay you to use. It is THAT sucky. And even if the ebay seller paid me to take that keyboard off him on condition that I keep it in my house I won't do it. Waste of space. Whoever that invented that switch probably didn't type on it.

Interesting keycaps, though. Seem to be MX compatible, but smaller in both width and depth.

When I had a Datalux I did take off the keycaps but did not make any comparison with Cherry MX.
These are not doubleshots and I do not think they are dyesubs either. The quality was not that great; I remember the caps were thin.
