I believe the switches are this kind http://deskthority.net/wiki/RAFI_RS_76M

Sounds like they’re fairly nice linear switches?

another keyboard I can't get

The design screams "I'm ultra heavy and meant to be used in Dr. Strangelove's nuclear plant".

Shipping to where I am will probably be 3-4x the cost of the keyboard,  :confused:

seller has had these boards up on his ebay for several months now. I check back every once in a while to see if the prices go down or anything sells.

unbroken plastic means $55 and missing keycaps means $40

Which missing keycaps? It says the *key* is missing. Like, there's a lock in the corner.

This is the version with "broken plastic"; the seller also has a listing for one with "missing keycaps" and a third listing for one that is in good condition.

so you have options if you want to pay more or less for a better or worse shape KB

Oooh

If they were listed in Japan, I'd be wondering whether this was a Fukushima closing down sale.
