The seller is about to get paid good money for a used keyboard.  If it goes a little higher, they might just make their money back assuming they bought it for Elitekeyboards' price.

Have to admit, it was me =)
Now I'm selling my doubleshots and one of my 55g's to make up for it...
Can't wait to get this baby! (After all I did dream about it - must have been a sign).

Hey KBL, why do you like topre boards?  Been thinking about trying one out, but it's an expensive experiment.

Hey KBL, why do you like topre boards?  Been thinking about trying one out, but it's an expensive experiment.

In my first thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=10746) ever on this board, I explained to people what I was looking for in a mechanical keyboard. Ch_123 was the first to tell me that Topre probably met my demands the best (although they were expensive.) I struggled with the price and tried out a bunch of cheapies from ebay (MX11800, AT101W, etc.) Eventually I gave in when the 55g's went on sale. As soon as I started typing on it, I fell instantly in love. :love:
