“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I remember when this came up before, but I can't find the topic for now. Interesting to note: These have a really weird layout! No real number-row, missing may keys (they are blanks). No idea what's up with it. Too bad the keycaps aren't M/F compatible, or it'd be cool for that.

Ooh, space unsaver kind of layout. That is definitely an awesome layout to me... too bad it's not the Model F.

Yep, I had provided a link to another sale some time ago and someone on here mentioned they were rubber-domed.  But the very BEST quality rubber-domes.
