Thanks, it used to be almost $60 to get it across the pond, now it is almost $80.
We later did a Model M that was more impressive (of course) and there is also a lot more flexibility with key caps (we dyed a set green, and they came out badly splotchy and uneven - perfect for camo!).
For now, we are keeping the M, just in case, but he has moved on to a G80-11900 and I loaned him a few of my "special" keys (I really don't have many since I am not a Cherry kind of guy). He likes the MX blacks better for his gaming, although it took him a few days to get used to linears.
