Maybe good, maybe not.

Just in case you are interested. These can be nice boards.

Is this still available ? If I do a search on eBay, it doesn't show up, but your link seems ok. I'm doing something wrong here ?

Yup...........have 1 and it is not a bad keyboard- white sliders. Don't you think the $100.00 is a little pricey though? The one has the hard to find amber cover which I'm sure jacks the price up, but I've seen cheaper say $30.00-$40.00 inc. shipping. I like the feel better than Dell 101 boards, although nothing wrong with that 1 either.

Build quality wise, these keyboards are definitely not worth the 100 dollar price tag. Very flimsy. If you want complicated Alps, this is a good donor, but for around 15-20 .
Keyboards:
IBM Model M Space Saving Keyboard (Used), HHKB Pro 2 (White, Lettered), Realforce 87U all-45g in White, Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with Cherry MX Browns, Model F PC/ATNoppoo Choc Mini (MX Browns), Model F XT, IBM Model M 1397735 (bought NIB), (2) Siig Minitouch (GHSS) one with XM, one with complicated ALPs (modded),2 Dell AT101W, Cherry G80-11900HRMUS (modded with MX browns)



Pointing Devices:
Logitech G500, Evoluent VerticalMouse 3, Logitech G5, CST 2545W, Microsoft IntelliMouse Trackball, Logitech M570, Logitech MX revolution

I'd only buy one NIB or like-new. that's just me
But yeah the Fk2001 (non-winkey version) is a classic. Def has a spot in the pantheon of great keyboards
keyboards!

Because the seller has listed that he will only ship to united states it won't come up in searches if you're using the canadian ebay search.
