I would assume that the French and Italian layouts make them less than ideal for scrapping for keycaps, but they look cool. Is this a good price, or am I too easily impressed?

Is that a FROWNY FACE KEY? Next to the P key, on the first board.

It's a normal key for some ISO layouts. I have one just like it on my AZERTY (Fr) Olivetti.

I thought it was pretty awesome, too.

Looks like the second one has all the A-Z keys right for Us-ANSI. With a moogle kit, you could really have something, I think.

As of now, the only have 1 of the AZERTY one and 2 of the QWERTY one.

It looks like one of the QWERTY ones sold. I'm tempted to pick up the last one, but I find the prospect of spending $50 on a partial set of key caps quite intimidating. It would be pretty cool to have my end key say fine.
