I'm confused why EK says "Tampo pad printed legends offer better durability than lasered or silkscreen printed legends".  I thought lasered legends were longer-lasting vs. pad printing.  As far as I knew, pad printing was pretty much bottom-of-the-barrel in terms of legend durability.

Did you e-mail EK? Maybe they'll tell you.

I'd love to see what they look like in the real world.  I'd love to see how that blue looks up against a white case.

Caps incoming today.  They're currently on the Fedex truck for delivery.  :thumb:  After they get here, I'll take some pics, do some comparisons, and throw 'em on a board before posting a thread.

Great!  I think a few people are looking forward to seeing what they are actually like.

What colour/s did you get?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Got green and red, wish they had whites, which is what I really wanted.
I'll give out a review when I receive them..

Not that crazy yet! I'll do some white, black and red first...
Then I'll see where the green goes or just by itself...
