I'm still in; if worse comes to worse and it doesn't work with a soarers converter I'll cannibalize it's switches.

They have traded in the $70 + shipping range in the past, and for much uglier specimens.

To be honest, I never really went through much effort to make them work with Soarer's Teensy, it was merely a matter of curiosity for me.

I loathe the XT layout.

There may be an "XT-AT" switch so make sure that you look for that, too.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah ideally I can keep it in its current condition; I would prefer to keep it that way. But then again, I can't speak on that yet considering this is obviously going to go into triple digit territory by the time snipers are done.

If somebody here wins it, I will be curious to know, in a month or a year, whether it is used, or kept, intact, or whether it is dis-assembled for parts.
