Keyboard is in perfect condition, and has less than 30 minutes of use on it. I just couldn't get into the key layout. ABS keys. Original packaging, cable and instructions are included. $95 shipped CONUS.

Totally understandable. GLWS.

Not to throw water on your sale, but 30 minutes is all you gave the layout? I was pretty skeptical about it after getting mine, but after a couple of days I was used to it and now I love it.

I think I got a pretty decent idea of the layout during my limited use. My main complaint is the tilde/ESC functionality. I use ESC way too much to have to use a function key to access it. I didn't like the ESC lock because I use tilde often as well, and don't want to have to turn the ESC lock off every time I need tilde. If ESC lock just switched the ESC/tilde instead of getting rid of tilde I probably would've given it more time.

This was more of an impulse buy, and I love my TKL Filco & Leo at home and work, so I can't justify keeping this when I'm not crazy about the layout.

I believe that you can use tilde while in "ESC Lock" with a simple holding of the function key. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

You're wrong. That makes way too much sense to be true.

I made a thread about the escape/tilde problem just the other day:

What I ended up doing was remapping the Menu key to tilde and using escape mode.

Hmmm, I've been misled, I remember an early review of the keyboard that mentioned this very thing to be true. He did have a pre-production model though, oh well. I'm still going to buy one.

You know what, I'm not going to find one cheaper!

Hey freethink, good news, I want your board, PM on the way with my paypal info!
