Yeah, there are two geniuses bidding against themselves (not each other) for it. I've been watching it for about a week. Sent the seller a message asking if the switch was broken or just the key cap missing. He says just the key cap is missing.

Are these repairable? I'd really like a small form factor BS keyboard but the prices are just too high.

I'm sure you are right.

Just replace the Ctrl key cap. I wanted to try a BS keyboard so I got a full size Model M and didn't really care for it. Of course it was much better than any average rubber dome keyboard, but I didn't drop my Realforce for it. ;-)

I used to work for a couple of companies where I've BS keyboards before. Didn't know anything about mechanical keyboards at the time. I remember being able to type pretty well and fast on them. I'm holding off on getting a Topre switch board since I'm currently enjoying the Cherry MX boards and don't want to risk ruining it.

Saw another listing for one earlier, it's a bit higher but ends much sooner...
