"Gently used", interesting extended-char. sublegends! The seller thinks one of the case clips is "broken"—but from the photo in the listing, it looks to me like it's just become unseated somehow... What do you think?

$60.00 + free U.S. shipping.

If you do buy this, I'd ask the seller not to simply ship it in its original box, as they intend, but to double-box it to protect the keyboard better.

AGH!  I can't believe I missed this one!  This would have been perfect for the wife's Macbook. :(

Hmmm...seems there's a version 3 and version 4 of these, and the version 4 letters are printed and wear off easily.  I wonder which board was in the auction?

I saw that one, but there's a button that's not on the version 3 or version 4, and in the quick reading I did about the board seems the early ones (like this one?) had some quality/design/build issues.

Still, not a bad price for it, but I wonder about the keycaps as well as longevity.
