Exciting news!  Can we get Taobao agents to pre-order these for us?  Or how does that work for pre-sales?

Just a warning.  These may be Chinese exclusives.

China is the new Japan.  USA is the new EU.  EU is becoming South America.

Not a problem. Taobao buying agents will be more than happy to send one internationally.

Seems to be the case.
Oh well, we will have to use obook etc.
We are all used to it.

Those *******s must have seen my poll and stolen my idea! Tenkeyless will be topre-priced with shipping and broker fees. Meh.

No.  I am perfectly content to wait for a distributor on the mainland.

Sure beats those lightweight Cherry Corps G80-3494s.

I don't have a problem with them. PCB-mounted feels nice, less noisy and easier to mod.

i would suggest keep the hands down at the time being. on the sale page, seller says the price listed now is just an estimated and the final price will be lower than this.

btw, though i trust filco build quality, i would still wait the review first.

Hi there. Here's a Japanese news article about the Majestouch limited edition. Well, it might not be really new but I guess it's usually better to have information confirmed.
http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20110301_430226.html

Looks like they've got updated software and PCB, and they'll be out on March 9th and you can pre-order them now on their online store. (they say that those limited models will not be on usual retail stores - though ShopU seems to be an exception, as usual)

The page above has 3 links as "product information" pages but actually there are 4 of them. But the last one, the limited "Majestouch Linear R tenkeyless US layout" FKBN87MR/EB2 looks like to be "Limited to overseas" and the Japanese shop says "SOLD OUT - Currently unavailable." I wonder what's going on there but maybe it's time to kidnap Bruce and torture him to get some information on it.

It's weird that they say they won't be available in retail stores, when they've already appeared in Taobao and Armygroup. Armygroup also had them really cheap for a brief period of time (probably by mistake). The price was 3400 TWD ($115).
