Just received an order from Elite Keyboards and the Topre Lavender WASD keycaps diddnt have arrows on them, after emailing to find out why, I was told that is how they are being made now.
Thats kind of a bummer, I liked the arrows. Anyone know of any other place that sells them that might have the arrow versions?

That sux. I cannot think why they would cancel the arrows. Bad move, IMO. Sad Face.

And why they wouldn't fix their pictures and modify their listings to indicate this.

I would assume it's due to laziness and not fraudulence. But good point! Somebody should send EK Brian a complaint email! If OP purchased based upon the picture, he should be able to get his money back.

He said it will be updated soon. I'm not so much bummed about that, Since there doesn't seem to be another outlet that I could of gotten them from.
I just don't get why, I know the arrows are mainly a gaming thing, but why replace just WASD keys if your not doing it for games?

which keyboard did you order? i have a 87U 55g on the way, and the picture they included has them:
(http://elitekeyboards.com/proddata/images/th/87UB_access1000_th0x0.jpg)
it also has this in the description:
This limited edition keyboard includes a red "Esc" key, colored W,A,S,and D arrow keys, and a keycap puller.
as an aside, did your esc key still have the 'esc' on it, or was it just a blank red key?

I ordered them seperetly, I'm assuming that boards that have them as part of the package from the manufacture still have them, unless the bundles are put together at time of shipping from available stock

ahh okay. i guess i won't worry until i have it in-hand then. thanks for clarifying.
