ANSI layout space invader board, $55 + shipping BIN

I’m guessing clicky black space invaders given the ebay description, but it’s hard to be sure.

Seems a bit expensive, in the recent past there have been some brand new NMB RT8756C boards for about half the price, same switches.
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

I have seen basically no standard ANSI layout ones, anywhere. They all have bigass enter keys, which many people seem to dislike.

Ah yeah, you are right... this also has a real backspace key which is probably equally as important. Although the stepped keys probably need to be switched out before any serious typing happens :)

They don't really affect typing that much. If you're hitting that extreme edge of the key like that you're doing it wrong.

Great find jacobolus!
