This is an alternative site to eBay, hope it's OK to post. This seller claims to have quite a few of these keyboards and that they're new:

Alas, rubber domes. You can see where they just took their standard desktop keyboard and got rid of the Windows keys :P

I have a couple of these in a box although mine are black.  They have a reasonable layout and if you need an expendable keyboard with a reasonable layout, this might be a good choice, like in a harsh environment or for use by ill behaved kids.

Hmm, isn't Lenovo making/branding those these days? Atleast the one I bough(10 or 15€ for keyboard and mouse when I didn't know better and thought that Lenovo was a quality maker on full range...) looks pretty much same apart from it's black and there is Lenovo logo on it...

Average keyboard, still might be somewhat sturdy as our school have lot of these and don't feel too bad, unlike Cherry G83-6344 which I came across and it was horrible...
So I should add something useless here yes? Ok, ok...

Yeah, a lot of Lenovo hardware is rebranded IBM stuff. They still use those mice with the red scroll wheels the last I checked.
