I don't want to seem like an old grumpy man, but what's up with some of these sellers on eBay going out and doing the same mods to keyboards as well as plagiarism of descriptions from other auctions. I mean really! In this case I counted 6 instances of "copy and paste", granted the mod is a simple 555 that anyone can do, but still taking some else's words without giving that person credit is not nice, even if its eBay. However I am sure that everyone heard that
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", so I guess I should just feel special. Thanks.

I'm with you on this one fo'sho'.
I actually had someone re-sell something of mine they had bought from me, use my picture, most of my text, and not even mention where they had originally gotten the piece from. The nerve! ;o)

Nothing that worries me.
Rather generic comments I think.This might be the same builder, even with different ebay identities.
I like these keyboards, bent one myself. Different cases, same black blob circuit.
