Those pad-printed legends look nice. Fortunately, either backspace was never pressed, or the keyboard has been used relatively little.

I agree. The only thing that makes me a little uneasy is I never saw a Chicony mech with a white plate. White between the keys make me wonder if it's just a domes board with a common Chicony part number. I would definitely want to see under a cap even at that price.

I think this is going to get real serious, quite fast.  Prepare for maximum sniping in 5 days time.  8)

Snipe now and forget about it.

If I remember correctly, nice 5181s have been selling in the $30-40 range.

They are worth more than that.

I'm going to take a shot at it, been wanting to try some vintage boards to compare to my MX boards. If I get it cheap and don't like it then I will pass the deal on to someone else.
