Dividers between the key clusters have been ripped off too :( Thing must have gone through hell.

Very tempting, but I'm not sure I'm $200-tempted.

Anyone ask the seller whether they have more to sell?

They just replied: this is the only one.  I obviously believe them.  :D

On the other hand, it looks pretty beat up.  The manual looks all right though, so all the damage probably came from a crash landing.

Yup, I'd grab it and fix it but the case is the big appeal to me and the ripped off dividers make me :(

Just needs to be opened and some switches replaced. Sourcing them isn't easy but isn't impossible. Someone over on DT would probably cough some up.

orihalcon has some switch testers; wonder if they work.

You might be able to bend them back, but they probably wouldn't ever be 100% correct. Not commonly-used keys tho.
