Not bad for 110 switches and caps:

You want to scavenge it for switches? The keys are crap, and the amount you will make on used switches won't justify the cost

[Glod]

yeah if you need brown switches, originative is selling 110 for $60

Unfortunately I'm in Canada and since Newegg has a Canadian branch they don't ship to Canada from the US.

The reason I stumbled across it is that I need MX browns and back-light capable Caps to test my ErgoDOX RGB Backlight Edition PCBs.

I have not tried the Logitech Caps but I figured this might be a cheap option to test everything out, perhaps I should start a thread for recommendations on back-light capable caps?

If you want backlit keys just buy the ducky ones from mk.com

Thanks for the tip, I looked at them earlier but it seems the only "shine" caps they are offering are the grey Nordic and Thai:

They also have translucent keys but I'm not sure if they would demonstrate the colors well.

This keyboard has been $100 a number of times when its gone on sale brand new, not really worth it imo for refurb if you're patient enough and willing to wait to get brand new for $20 more.

As far as I know maxkeyboard only has translucent key caps, where the whole cap is translucent minus the print, I was hoping for something where the only translucent part would be the letters.
The only backlit key caps that I know of on Ebay are Ducky grey/whites being sold by qtan which are tempting, might end up getting those since people seem to agree that the Logitech caps are crap.
