Title: HHKB Promo: Free Switch Keychain
Post by: johnnysasaki on Fri, 10 December 2010, 21:21:37
Be first to order a HHKB and get one of these cool keychain/dongles as a gift.

I think that's the gist of this promo:

Hmmm.  Maybe I'll have to replace the one I just sold to get the keychain?  ;)

Buy a $250+ keyboard and get a free keychain? If it weren't for the rarity and novelty of a Topre switch keychain, I'd almost say this campaign is somewhat insulting...buy 60 key switches - get one free!

I'd be more inclined to give-away/sell these keychains to people that are debating the purchase of, or can't quite yet afford an HHP2/Topre board if I wanted to build loyalty or interest in my brand.

Hey, I would be totally up for that. If you do that/find someone to make these things, sign me up for one! However, I think the quantities are limited. First 50 or something. That is based on Google Chrome's translate saying:

   Blue HHKB Kisuitchisutorappu first 50 people
White HHKB Kisuitchisutorappu first 50 people
Red HHKB Kisuitchisutorappu first 50 people
Mexico HHKB Kisuitchisutorappu first 50 people

I think having this kind of product might help keyboard retailers grow their consumer base. Would certainly make it easier/less financially risky to test and try switches before purchase. Even if you lose a bit of money selling them, if you lose $1 on 1000 switches sold, you'd make it back quick if you get like 50 extra sales from it... Or, you know, if you sell like, 2 Topre boards from it.
