Owww... those prices.  I like that the sets are comprehensive, but $140 is way more than I can budget for a full-size set.   Also plus space bar.

Actually: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50172.0

Different thread title though, which a lot of people might miss.
"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

As per discussion with 7bit I have a post in Group Buys awaiting admin approval.  So there will eventually be a thread there.

I was hoping for better ergodox support in this gb.

I can get a decent ergodox layout if I buy a couple different sets so its not so bad.

Just a "fleshed-out" ergodox kit.
