Looks good huh? When I was the age of the average clack loving geekhacker I longed for a NeXT too...
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

It don't think it's emulated. Judging by the description, I think he actually installed Openstep 4.2 on the Mini.

This is also Black Hole inc, the guy who buys and sells NeXT machines for a living (he is like ClickyKeyboards.com but for NeXT stuff).

We got a keyboard off of him because our Non-ADB board had bad switches and we decided that it would be more cost efficient than our other options*. This price seems a tad steeper than it's really worth, but I think the same of ClickyKeyboards. I wouldn't consider it a "great deal" since it's retail.

*For my work-study, I've been working on a NeXTStation Color getting it up and running for fun (and to play Doom in the most nerdy way possible). It's so much work without the exact correct hardware...

Note: I believe this keyboard is the rubber dome type, not the black Alps version.

Huh. I thought I said that in my post...

I guess I accidentally deleted it when editing. But yeah, I second the suspicion.
