Yup.  It's common everywhere.  Don't waste your money on eBay.

It's also one of those uncommon mini keyboards where the keys are lined up properly, e.g., the keys 6-7-Y make a perfect triangle.

Looks like a decent compact, maybe with scissor switches?

But Ebay is $21.99 + $12.47 shipping, Newegg is $24.99 + $3.99 Shipping with 6 positive reviews.  $19.99 at my local Microcenter.  Wonder what it feels like?  Guess perhaps I could drive over to Microcenter and find out.

I suspect standard rubber dome, not scissor switches.  At least one Newegg review mentioned offcenter hits.

True, but only on the left shift and he still gave it 5/5 stars.  Might be a good cheap choice for limited use situations.

I have that keyboard (Newegg). Its rubber-dome but feels a little better than most. It seems not so "mushy" as most of them are. I found it great for gaming but certainly miss the mechanical feel for typing. Also seems well built for what it is. Plug & Play with a few volume media keys and if it was mechanical it would be perfect.

Ooh, rubber dome?  Kind of want.  I am not a scissor switch fan.  How far do the keys travel?  It reminds me of Adesso boards of this size that had unusually deep travel and good layouts back when the rest were all those nasty Chinese $10 mini flat boards were starting to flood the OEM and store brand markets a few years ago.
