What's so good about this sissor switch board to warrant $30?

Cool lightweight little board with built-in trackpoint. I had one. Nice to have if you are squeezing into server closets.

I would have got one if they had beige.
--> it would pair nicely with the PS/2E (which was sold with these as its keyboard).

I put in an offer for $25.  Maybe they'll accept?  It'd be worth that to me.
I'm back.
