Good find.  I'm not really into typing on brown cherries, so I won't snag one of this, but I would think one or two people around here would want one.

Yup, picked up one myself :). For that price and brand new, can't be beat.

By the way, anyone know if it works with a passive USB->PS/2 adapter?

thanks for the heads up. i just ordered 3 of them. this is a really nice keyboard and probably the best bang for your buck IMO - especially for anyone who is coming from a rubber dome and wants to try mechanical keyboards.

i e-mailed the seller asking if he'd give a discount since i'm buying three but he said that that they only do it for quantities of 10 or greater.

The thing that kills me about the MX11800 is that the left Alt key is under Z instead of X.  On normal keyboards it's under X and I can reach it easily with my thumb to switch windows in irssi.
