Yeah, but the soldering joints would probably be better on this unit. :)

Or one of the new Adesso blue cherry boards for $57 when they're available soon.  

This keyboard should be $20 max and cheaper shipping because it's a parts only board.  And odds that it might not work are high when it's been raided of keycaps or bashed into something.

I don't know... it's all yours, finders keepers. I wouldn't want to rob you of such a great deal.

If you sell a few of your NIB windows copies, and microsoft intellipoint mice, I'm sure you can get enough funds to buy that awesome retro-got-iit-from-a-dump-overpriced-missing-keys keyboard.

That almost beats the scrollpoint poster (http://cgi.ebay.com/1998-IBM-ScrollPoint-Mouse-Most-Annoying-Print-Ad_W0QQitemZ180493402745QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2a063ec279):

Yes, overcome and CONQUER one of the internet's most annoying problems with the amazing scrollpoint.

And look what the seller has to say about it:

These are wonderful collectibles that remind us of lifes favorite moments and memories.They make great gifts for friends and family!

For only $9.95 you can take this amazing poster home today!

Lol made an offer for $5 for this keyboard, and $10 both were autodeclined.  I think there is a disconnect between the sellers view of a fair price and mine :)

Everyone who seems to be taking this seriously...it's pretty apparent MW was completely joking...

And yeah, elbowglue, I'd say that's approximately what they're worth...a disconnect indeed.

I thought Picard's badge was a photochopped finger flipoff on first glance.
