It does look lightly used.  Either that, or the caps were replaced at some point.  At the BIN price, I would just get a new one from Elite.  If you can get it closer to $200 it is an OK deal.

Is there a list of which HHK are Topre and which are not?
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

All of the HHKB Pros (1 and 2) are Topre.  The original HHKB, the HHKB2, and the HHKB Lite are standard rubber dome.



This guy's auction sucks, check for mine in the classifieds.

Shiny spacebar. Looks NIB to me.

:)  Well, I didn't look that closely at this auction since I'm not in the market for a HHKB.  I would rather go with ItlnStln's HHKB if I wanted to go that way (in the classifieds)
