I fail to see how that would be ironic in the slightest.

FYI, EK changes their prices all the time, and without warning.

Wouldn't blame him if he did, you hurt his sales with your pro-filco, anti-everything else agenda. Although I guess you helped his sales while he was selling Filcos, so mybe it balances out.

I would jump on a $99 Leopold with clears like a fugitive on a boat to Cuba.

Me too, or free shipping :)  Though, I still think their price is reasonable, I just hate how much it costs to ship anything these days.

I have 2 leopolds and neither of them ping, thus my indifference to all things ping related on here, they're just lulz.

EK's prices for Leopolds seem fine, though if he raises them anymore and chalks it up to currency changes I'm going to revise that assessment.

Now Realforce and HHKBs though... lol.

I respect the guy for trying to cater to a niche market, but lol we're at $490 keyboards now and who knows where it's going to end.

I plan to try a Topre someday. Just not any day soon. Too rich for my blood. The higher the cost, the lower the chance of me ever trying then, and in turn, a lower chance that I find true happiness, as one of the things that could be so would be out of my reach.

You may own one of the best boards in the world and you may continue searching for happines ;-).

Cherry base boards are also super boards.
