I gather these have been posted about here before, but this one seemed especially affordable for any of you who crave some nice, unusual DS Cherry MX keys:

Universal Computer Systems ANSI Terminal Keyboard DCS/948 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Computer-Systems-ANSI-Terminal-Keyboard-DCS-948/192316367635)

Those are vintage MX Blacks. The cable's grimy, but the board itself looks barely used to me. BIN $33.75 + 13.72 U.S. shipping.

I like that the legend on the HELP key is so much bigger than all the others :))

Also that the HELP key is yellow.

Yes, it really stands out... A few exclamation points are practically implied.

I believe the base KB is a wyse WY-85. Not sure if soarer supports that protocol or not, but I think it might. The keycaps are comptek of source (now SP) so it's what we're all familiar with. I dig the wyse off color arrow keys but in brown instead of yellow :p

Has a cool XMIT key, so maybe he'll want it
