Anyone interested in buying some?

These come in only tenkeyless form? And the silent variable means? (i presume something to do with the weight of the keys, maybe all below 45g or 50g?)

I think I might jump on this, but it might be the end of the week before I'm 100% sure. So the variable silent is the same price then? Nice... Really is too bad they didn't release the 10th anniversary edition in a 45g version.

I would kill for one of those. I'd be happy with even a 45g version as I'm a big fan of mx browns so for me 45g or less is perfect. This will probably sound totally newbish but we can't buy stuff directly from Taobao without a Chinese middleman or "agent" , right?

Didn't they make 45g uniform instead of 55g for the 87U 10th anniversary? That's what I saw on Taobao when they first came.

But it's good to know there's 55g uniform available since I'm looking for a black 55g 87U.

Please count me in for a 55g one.

This is a group buy for the keyboard above since typical North Americans cannot buy from these sites. I would definitely be in to buy a 55g uniform. What does the final cost look like? (Before shipping i would presume)

I just want the keycaps ......

I don't like the grey at all, I just want to harvest the keycap set for the blue-grey keys to go on my 105UB. They're the only refined-looking coloured keycaps for a Topre; EK's selection is very brash and bordering on retina searing, though I was hoping that someone who bought the lettered green set for use on a HHKB would sell me just the function key row from it that they're not using (ditto the blue set for the arrows).

I can't even sell my keyboard and buy this, as they don't do this in 105-key.

Sorry, but I think I'm also going to have to back out, since I really need to tighten my keyboard budget.

Anyone who doesn't already have a couple RF boards should definitely take advantage of this though, since Realforces are amazing and the 10th Anniversary ones look really classy. I'll be watching this thread and there's a slim chance that I'll try to get back in, but I'm attempting to slow down with the keyboard purchases a little.

Just wanted to let you guys know I played with one of these yesterday in Akihabara, but for some reason my phone deleted the picture I took. There were a couple of ANSI versions at that store (it wasn't the topre headquarters, I may go there tomorrow morning) for around $250 if anyone wants one. There was an 86UB and an 87U.

There was also a bin, yes a bin, of HHKBs. As they were only 3,000 yen (about $35) and when I typed on them they felt like a membrane (albeit a really really good feeling one) so they're probably the lite version.

That would be the HHKB Lite 2 due to the arrow keys. $35 is a good deal if you're into 2KRO and compared to Amazon.
