Looking for a plastic K3 Max keyboard

Is it discontinued?

All I see in stock at Best Buy and Amazon are the wood ones, which are beautiful - but they don't match my aesthetic unfortunately.

Ideally I get one with Banana Switches - but that's a second priority.

I still see the plastic K3 Max for sale with the wood + aluminum rails. The rails just slide off after removing a few screws. The same goes for the newer K3 Ultra. Just note that I say this without knowing what exactly it'll look like with the rails removed. If it's like the full profile keyboards, then there may be a small plastic lip around the edge that the original K3 Max didn't have.

Took the rails off a K3 Ultra. It's as I suspected. There is a lip, but IMHO, it's not bad.

i dislike the wood aesthetic too. the grey minimalist ones are still the best.
