Is this worth buying for ppl who doesn't mind the "USED" word...

Or black keys on a white board, probably not my cup of tea.

I bought a Space Saving Keyboard from dcozart. It was as he described: working, clean, and with a couple of issues. I bolt modded it and repaired it and I'm typing on it now.

He describes this one being in "great condition ... used daily" which is a much more positive description than the one I bought. It sounds like a turnkey unit.

To whoever buys this. I have a set of 1391401 keys just gathering dust, make an offer. Why be part of that hipster Otaku fad when you could be legendary?

Home-painted black keycaps?

Looks like a regret sale.

Huh, I'm surprised how good they look.  I think I'm gonna get some Rit dye and try it out on my, New-not-in-box space savers.

I have to agree it looks terrible, but I have plenty of spare caps, so I am going to bid anyway.

Shot up a bit at the end there, $112.50, guess not a bad deal as these go.
