You mean the one with jp version? 2nd anniversary version? You can find that in Amazon jp.

Don't remember if Amazon.jp will ship to the US, but there are tons of proxy services online for JP to US.

If you have trouble finding any, start digging around figure/anime/manga forums for their JP purchases/imports.

Found this website called sutocorp.com and it looks pretty legit, the price of the keyboard comes out to around 350 USD shipped. I think, I might just do that..

Sutocorp is very legit. He proxies mainly for a fashion forum I go on, Superfuture. Everyone over there loves his service. I highly recommend it myself. Surprised to see it mentioned here so I thought I'd chime in.

If the keyboard is fulfilled by amazon directly and not by a third party store, then you can buy the keyboard directly and ship it to a forwarding service like Tenso instead of using a buying agent. That way you only pay by weight rather than a percentage of the item price.

I don't see the appeal, honestly.  Can't you just get blue keycaps, smack 'em on an 87U, and not have to use a weird ISO-ish layout?

I'm currently trying to find all the possible options for obtaining this keyboard, and this may be a last resort if I cant find another one with a US layout.

Just curious, that price from sutocorp for the non-silent version?
