Cherry browns and small form factor.
Pitty it is that expensive and they don't send to The Netherlands.

Plus I promised myself to not buy more than 1 keyboard per month.... Ow wait! It's already november, time for a new keyboard!!!!! *grin*

Thinking of getting the blue cherry version as well....

Regards.

Well, I noticed off-hand that they didn't exclude North Korea. What more do you want?

Oops, I missed "Asia". I guess it is excluded.

Post by: NamelessPFG on Thu, 04 November 2010, 22:16:37: Just $100? Tempting, but I don't have the money at the moment and might find that I'd like MX Blues better. (Only one way to find out...)

Furthermore, I wish that they'd have released that numpad module, mostly because then I'd be able to have it on the left rather than the right.

At least it should be a relatively compact board for when I don't want to be hindered by notebook keyboards...

Cherry blue version. Probably going to get one of these. Surprised to see them so low, they're usually $150+

$140 retail

Going to see how difficult it will be to cut the sides off it. lol

Possible loophole - doesn't list Great Britain... it does mention United Kingdom, but they aren't quite the same...

They've got it pretty locked up tight unless you live in Antarctica or on the moon.

Hmm, so where does he ship? I mean he doesn't even ship to USA(or isn't USA in North America?), might be bit hard to find buyer...

Post by: SirClickAlot on Fri, 05 November 2010, 09:20:36: Alright, thanx for the large number of people willing to be a proxy. I found one -> WhiteRice.

I'll keep the other potential proxies in mind when buying similar stuff .

Thanx again for the help lads.

Relative to what? Which projection you would prefer or which coordinate-system?

It all depends ;D

Post by: SirClickAlot on Fri, 05 November 2010, 14:14:02: I posed the question to the seller. This is what he answered :

" hello. yes we will ship to the netherlands as long as you read and agree with our international return policies listed underneath the item description. if you do agree with it, email back your agreement and i will open up the listing to your country with a link. thank you! "

So, just read and agree with their international return policies and your country will be listed.

For me it doesn't matter anymore since it is proxied via WhiteRice ( Thanks man... )

Regards.

I'd probably find myself hitting the keys on the left side by accident all day.
The white one is $10 cheaper and probably better.
Then there's the financial keyboards, one is ALPS and the other is Cherry Blue.
Choices.

AFAIK nobody here bought one. I just wished they had kept the old SMK-88 in Cherry Blues. Could have been a HHKB killer.

iMav's Blue Cherry SMK-88

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10615&d=1275685938)

iMav sold me this KB, I stripped off the top row and left row and now it's sort of like a plum 84, my daily driver :)

It's pretty much as you would imagine it is. Plate mounted mac layout, nice cherry blues. Like a filco but smaller. And more Mac like. Too bad I don't own any macs.
