are you looking for topres?  then you're SOL.

the fc660m and poker 2s are significantly cheaper
ALL zombros wanted:  dead or undead or dead-dead.

I have a new SIIG MiniTouch for sale; it's not all black and l33t looking, but it's definitely compact and way less expensive :-).

Shouldn't be as expensive as Filco. $110 seems reasonable for me.

Noppo Choc Mini. It's a 75%, but still small and very cheap for a new MX!

I think it depends on what you consider "cheap."   ;D

  • $20 = G84 keyboard (ML switches)
  • $50 = TG3-BL82 (used, from eBay, MX switches)
  • $80 = CM QFR (new, MX switches)
  • $85 = Keycool 84 (new, MX switches)
  • $100 = Noppoo Choc Mini (new, MX switches)

There are a lot more, just listing some of the commonly available options.
