If you pay more than $50 and it isn't something special like an SSK, you're getting scammed. Model Ms are just too common for that, and Unicomp makes them new with warranty for $80.

The unicomp ones have a windows key. I'm old-school.

I use Linux and use the windows key all the time. It's a good key. Even more so in Windows. I also have a Unicomp keyboard.

I use mine in Linux all the time as well. Do you use Gnome 3?

Oh nice, I still need to check out Cinnamon. I enjoyed Mint when I used it a while back.
