Listed as a rugged workstation keyboard but looks wicked.  Someone needs to buy this thing just to keep it out of the scrap heap.

Not to mention the Dolche esque looking colorway on the caps.

This has been posted so many times it's not funny anymore.

Sorry, I thought it was really unique, nice looking and I thought that the white alps were pretty decent switches

So did I the first time I posted it.  I think I was informed that it had been posted before as well.  It's been on eBay forever.

And I think the caps are thinish pad printed caps, which is sad.

Someone actually bought it. Does it get reposted by people who buy it or was it just not selling for months?
