Handarbeit is actually also slang for "tossing off" in German ... so this thread title made me giggle.

It also means "hand-crafted". So the term "made with love" has kind of a... different meaning here :D

Handarbeit reminds me of the VW Golf Harlequin edition:

I bet the original production went like this..

German 1:   Hey German 2, I bet I can blindfold myself, select some random ms paint colors , call it a special edition, and those idiots would buy it..

German 2:  You're on, the loser has to buy Schnitzel dinners for the whole office...

German 2: /loses a week's pay , buying dinners.

If I got the story right, it was a 1-2 unit showcase model for a trade fair

Never for retail sale at any time...

Did that ever make it into reality?

The harlequin golf is amazing. People have copied it on Mk2s and I love it.

That set though. Grim. It's like a WASD custom keyset made by an imbecile.

They act like they are selling Maybachs.  Even the average Audi dealer here is a lot more humble!

"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

The luckiest bit was the left and right orange arrow keys.  By some coincidence, I got both of those in the first SP crap bag.  Without those it would not have been the same.
