The second picture in the listing appears to be an amateur photo, if that's the board listed it looks like it's in great condition. :)

yea, if that's the pic, the texture on the keys look to be in excellent shape. To anyone on the fence about this board I paid $241.81 for mine delivered so yea.

I realize you can't directly compare MX to Topre. While I have not used a 55g Topre, I really like the variable weight RF I use at work and the modded 45g I have at home. I've found MX Black and Clear switches to be tiring after long typing and gaming sessions. This wasn't an issue with MX Brown and Red boards I've used. I'd say if you're comfortable with your lighter Topre switches then you're probably not going to like the 55g ones.

Well, that's because it was a good deal for a single keyboard a month ago.

Thanks for the sarcasm; it's much appreciated.

Post by: a_ak57 on Wed, 22 October 2014, 17:07:34: That wasn't sarcasm? I was just saying, this was an ebay listing for someone's single keyboard from a month ago. With a good price you shouldn't expect it to last more than a few days much less over a month.
