What do you guys think of this one?

I saw it when when I was checking out the seller to see if they still had those AT101W boards for sale.
This POS board is new, has what looks to be a clear cap tray, is clear cap capable, has a key puller, and is that a track ball I see in the upper left?????

It looks like a rubber dome IBM. They aren't that great from what I've read even compared to other rubber domes.
I'd recommend another POS board but I don't know of any real good ones. The Cherry G81 series is pretty bad for normal typing - they seem to be designed for a quick punching in of numbers and codes.
That's a bummer, but the keys look like they would be worth it, yes/no?
It would be great to take em and transplant some onto another keyboard for shortcuts on programs like PS. Stick a note or something (I dunno be creative) under the clear keycap. Hmmm... I wonder what key stem they use?

The same vendor is doing them through This (http://www.looking4parts.com/search/request4quote.asp?CustID=83&Part=25F6329) site for $45.
Also on their Own (http://www.alancomputech.com/25f6329.html) site for $45
A little Ebay PriceGouging me thinks.

A lock cylinder goes there.
IBM liked nifty locks.
