There are pics of the pink keys posted by reaper in the HHKB thread if anyone is curious.

They look really good, you won't be disappointed.

I didnt realize that these were out already. Does EK usually send their newsletters out way after they put stuff up for sale?

These have been on sale a couple of days.  I think since the 18th.

Was listed before that as backordered.  I'm in the habit of checking EK every couple of weeks because I've missed most of the colored sets.  Really glad I got the orange with my initial purchase.

I'd love to have a set of these on my 87U, but I'll probably have to wait for someone to sell their set in classifieds. I'm alright with a keycap set for $110, but with shipping for $51 I'm not. :(

Send EK a message through email, shipping will be much lower than that and Brian will refund you. It's just how the system is set up that charges $51. If the cost is still too high I'm sure someone could proxy them for you as well - I would offer to do it but I have to pay taxes for EK.

Whoa, I also should've said happy birthday, so: happy birthday!
This made me realize my birthday's also on friday. I've been so busy with school lately, so I haven't paid close attention to the dates. Thought the 27th was on saturday, but I was a bit off it seems. :dance:

Thanks reaper!! I was wondering how those pink keys would look on a black 87U. They look pretty good but I want a set of lettered green :(

Man I keep regretting buying an 87u in white. All the sets that topre releases look better on black.

technicall its dark grey they did come out with black caps though I believe. And i think many of the caps look just as good on white.
