[IC] PFU Direct Order (HHKB, accessories, shirts, etc)

[jwaz]

Keyboards:
Type-S is on sale for $300 with a leather rest, not sure for how long.
http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/direct/hhkb/

Accesories:
You know you need that stand
http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/direct/hhkb/option.html

Shirts:
http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/direct/hhkb/goods.html


Anyway, I have a buddy in Japan who I could get to place an order. If we get a few people interested we could all split shipping and I think it would be pretty reasonable.

[SpAmRaY]

HHKB covers/roofs?

[dustinhxc]

That cover is cool..

Good deal for as Type S!

[osi]

Good finds!!

[Puddsy]

I WANT A SHIRT

In for a few shirts

I know some people who'd like them as gag gifts.

[SpAmRaY]

I'm guessing this is a Christmas special for these caps and puller?

Went through the checkout process. Seems like you can only ship to the JDM, which is what I expected.

[kelske]

Some keycap sets would be awesome too. About $45 per set!

[kmiller8]

jwaz, I just proxied a bunch of stuff from Japan... lol

[BunnyLake]

ill take another type s and wrist rest

[Latin00032]

ill take another type s and wrist rest

Another?

You the man Bunny!

How much without the wrist rest? What if I want the other wooden wrist rest, stand, or suit case?

[sleepy916]

How much without the wrist rest? What if I want the other wooden wrist rest, stand, or suit case?

The leather one is about $50, just the wooden one is about $40. Stand is about $40 and the suitcase is about $47. I just looked up the conversion for USD.

100 Yen = .96 USD

[BunnyLake]

ill take a projp as well if they are going

[jwaz]

Let me get in contact with my buddy and then I'll start compiling an order list. I wonder how long the sale is going to last, better figure that out.

[Latin00032]

Jwaz,

What if I wanted the suit case and the stand?

I want to join the group. If this moves forward, I want to get the costs correct.

[jwaz]

Jwaz,

Sorry, I'm not understanding what you meant. Anything on the PFU Direct site is up for grabs in this buy.

[adhoc]

If only you guys weren't from US, I'd be totally into this.

[Latin00032]

Let me get in contact with my buddy and then I'll start compiling an order list. I wonder how long the sale is going to last, better figure that out.

If you compile a list to include cost of items and shopping all together.

[elton5354]

So $286 USD for a Type-S? I'll be in.

Good deal on the USB cable for $28?  )

Also each order comes with this?

[jwaz]

Let me get in contact with my buddy and then I'll start compiling an order list. I wonder how long the sale is going to last, better figure that out.

Shipping will depend on the amount ordered, I'm trying to keep this sort of small for simplicity's sake (I don't want to overwhelm my friend in case we wan't to ever do this again through him).

[Jrwestcoast]

I would be interested in a Type S, HHKB roof and maybe  a T-shirt. 

[Halverson]

I'm guessing this is a Christmas special for these caps and puller?

(Attachment Link)

Oh I like that little set. I'll have to check this out on a computer tonight.

Knowing GH it might end up being a huge box of stuff. I wouldn't mind chipping in some money to him for the trouble if it gets out of hand.

Hopefully, Jwaz starts a GB for this. It can include costs per item, shipping in Japan, shipping to other countries, and time/effort costs.

[jwaz]

okay, I think this is more than enough interest. As soon as my friend gets back to me I'll post prices and a rough shipping estimate and let the orders begin.

[osi]

!!!

[trax]

I'm up for some stuff...
Type-S, Caps, Color cap set, thirts

I want all this stuff :O

[VesperSAINT]

Hmmm. I was going to have a friend in Japan grab the JP for me but with this deal, I may have him just not grab it, and join this group. I guess I'll see what the costs come out to, and then get in touch with my friend.

[balanar]

I wonder what kind of cap there is going to be on orders. I think it's time for me to enter the Topre world proper by grabbing 2 HHKBs.

[Pacifist]

why now? I need my raindrop money, topre stay away PLEASE

[Latin00032]

I want to topre to flow through me.

[Belfong]

Looks like even if you want to order directly and use a proxy like tenso.com, you are not allowed to do so. Is this correct? (I can't read Japanese but I tried to add to cart and checkout but failed).

[Belfong]

Just a thought - is there a Japanese keyboard enthusiast in this keyboard who are used to GB who will do it for the team? Cough, hasu, cough?

Edit to say that I have just verified with amazon.co.jp as well and it's the same price as getting from PFU direct. Except PFU gives you a wrist rest and potentially some key caps kit. Which is a great deal too. But for me, who is in Asia, and therefore can't join this group buy, it may be better to get from amazon.co.jp as I can use tenso.com as the proxy. I'll have to forego the wrist rest though, which looked really good.

[Neal]

I need Topre... But EU, Prob still cheaper o:

[rowdy]

That set with 4 keycaps and the puller looks nice

[meiosis]

I'm down for a Type-S, I was actually thinking about doing this myself. But wtf... I'm going to Japan for New Years and it ends Christmas day :<

[Pacifist]

I'm down for a Type-S, I was actually thinking about doing this myself. But wtf... I'm going to Japan for New Years and it ends Christmas day :<

order it now with delayed shipping so its there on the 1st

[mr.bean]

I would take a set of keycaps.

[jwaz]

My proxy said he is having issues with his card, that's not a good sign. I'm looking into placing an order myself and just shipping to him. I've also PMed hasu on IRC.

[Latin00032]

Can you use a card from another country?

[jwaz]

Interesting, they have a Rakuten site as well:
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/pfudirect/
http://item.rakuten.co.jp/pfudirect/10000027/

[adhoc]

Could anyone tell me how much would a roof for HHKBP2 cost me with shipping to EU if I participated in this GB? EK doesn't have them in stock.

[jwaz]

The covers are designed for the Lite2, you can tell by the cut out for the arrow keys on the bottom right.

[adhoc]

Hmmm are the dimensions different? Because otherwise it should fit both anyway, or?

Why is there a roof for a lite but not for the pro :/

[Neal]

Will Take a Shirt, Keyset, and 1 or maybe 2 HHKB's even thought I'm EU, if we play it nice we can avoid the stupid NL custom fees...

[jwaz]

http://shop.bird-electron.co.jp/shopdetail/005006000011/005/006/X/page1/order/

Here is a topre one, I feel like we could do a small run of these fairly easy, same with the acrylic wrist rest.

http://shop.bird-electron.co.jp/shopdetail/004009000010/005/003/X/page1/order/

Woah, check this Bird-Electron Cherry keypad out. A bit pricey

[esoomenona]

The roof is designed for both the Lite 2 and the Pros.

Yeah, but seems like we could make that so easily

[Sai]

oh. i guess realforce can wait for a while. i'll be in for type-s

[adhoc]

Well if that roof fits pro I'd be interested.

[Sniping]

I'd be interested in a blank ANSI Type-S with the leather wrist rest!

This sale ends fast though  Do those keycaps and keypuller in the pictures come included or is that extra?

[jwaz]

It's for the first 300 orders, no idea how to ensure that. Rakuten has an option for global shipping from what I can tell. I'm trying a test order at the moment.

[eth0s]

I want a HHKB Pro 2 Type-S with Blanks, and that wooden wrist rest, and that bonus set of keycaps, and the acrylic wrist rest too.

Give me a price.

Thanks!

[Sniping]

Would a first come first serve thing work for those keycap sets?

[jwaz]

I don't have a paypal credit card so this might not happen in time, I'm pretty sure you can order the deal of rakuten on your own and have it shipped straight to you.

[Sniping]

Does that 29800 yen price include international shipping? I can't tell but I don't want to put in my information before I'm sure.

I'll join for that topre cover.

[trax]

Don't get your hopes up.
Rakuten ALLOWS their sellers to ship international, but PFUDIRECT's listenings do not show up when you select "Shipping to USA" they only show if I select "Shipping to Japan/Proxy".

[jalaj]

I'll buy the freebie four blue/red keycap set (don't need puller) with KB purchase from anyone who doesn't want it.

[eth0s]

[SpAmRaY]

That MX number pad is ghetto

[eth0s]

That MX number pad is ghetto

What?  This one?



I dunno.  It's pretty basic.  But I wouldn't say "ghetto", which sounds cheap and crappy.  It looks pretty solid.  Like military grade.  I dunno if it is military grade, but it looks military grade.  Plus it has no "00", and no other useless keys like TAB and DEL.  Just numbers and enter.  Hmm, well the lack of +, -, *, = could be a problem though.

[SpAmRaY]

Ghetto fabulous then...

So you ship it to Tenso who ships to you.

Too bad their rakuten site doesnt stock the black HHKB too, just placed an order for a Type-S. Hopefully it qualifies for the gift as well.

Cheers jwaz for bringing the sales to our attention.

[tuananh_bkk]

that's damn good price for type-s. I"m thinking buying another one.

Yeah, no problem! I'm just bummed we don't have enough time to do an actual buy but it I'm not sure we would have saved that much vs Rakuten & Tenso.

Yeah i doubt you'd save at all considering paypal fees and domestic shipping. Not to forget all the intangible costs associated with handling such a high value GB.

No as tenso will be handling that. Package would probably be around 1.5-2kg

Mind telling me how much you paid in total after you get an accurate price? That would be helpful to see which option of proxying is best for me.

[atlas3686]

Thanks jwaz, I was going to do this anyway in early jan now I can get a free wrist wrest! Is there any reason everybody doesn't buy like this always, instead of paying $400 plus shipping from ek?

The offer will probably have ended by the time I get my quote from Tenso. However everything you need to know is on the page I linked to. There are no other hidden charges other then the service and shipping fee as stated on the page. Just estimate the weight (~3.0kg max but most likely 2kg which someone with a hhkb board should be able to confirm). Cheapest proxy by far, unless you can find one who doesnt charge any fees or/and have EMS discounts.

If this is still going down i might be in for a type s / wrist rest.

lemme know the deets

[bazh]

too bad, I got my HHKB pro2 (non S) on hands just an hour ago, if only this thread'd came earlier

[Dgsbllx]

So using tenso is the best bet to order any of this stuff?

I am definitely interested in the wrist rest with the black cover.  Maybe both depending on how much it comes out to.
