Could be a fun project for someone to convert this to USB and make a case for it. Much cheaper than buying an SSK!

surprised that you aren't snagging it for yourself for that "Code" key ....

I thought about it (that is, asking the guy if he’d cut the shipping to just a couple dollars to just ship the code key and spacebar), but since this sucker is already bolt modded, I thought someone might want to turn it into a full computer keyboard, optionally changing the layout (e.g. splitting up the big enter key).
