That's a little pricey.

True, true. I guess it was more of a "good find" in the sense that you can't really find these posted on eBay.

I've just realized what an odd layout that thing has.

Alt is next to A, which will lead to a lot of accidental menu selections. Burying the Delete key in the alphas will lead to the same problems.

The shift keys are in good spots though. You can press the shifts with your thumbs while keeping your fingers on the home row.

As I recall, the price for a new one is somewhere between $500 and $600 and this one was supposedly bought new only a month ago.

Beside the layout, the keys are also a bit smaller than standard. Topre switches.
If you ever wanted an "Ergonomic HHKB" then this is it. :)

$400 was an instant decline for me.
