Yes it means they should have more stock sometime this month. You might try to email them to see if they can give you a better idea of the estimated time of arrival (ETA).

are we all waiting for the white/gray Realforce? lol

I'm personally needing the silent version for work. They have the black version in stock now with a price reduction that I put an order in for but quickly cancelled after realizing (before it's too late for once) that I was making a rash purchase since what I really wanted was not in stock.

I called Elitekeyboards today before ordering the black model and spoke with a nice guy whose name I cannot recall. He wasn't sure of any particular date of arrival; just that it would be either by late November or early December. He was "touring" the warehouse while on the phone with me to double check if any of my preferred model were in and it was kind of concerning how quickly he was able to scan their inventory... made it seem like they don't care much of anything in high numbers. Anyway, total speculation. Let's all hope we don't beat each other out of our desired keyboard!

Just the 55g for me.. ek told me not to worry about lack of stocks as they're bringing in enough to last a couple months

I would recommend getting the HHKB instead if you cannot wait that long

As much as I love my HHKB, I'm the type of guy that would never buy the same car twice even if the newer model is significantly changed. I'm too curious about what else is out there.

I'm french as well and I feel lucky that I have purchased this model two months ago. I have purchased two of them actually, they are absolutely great.

Are you going to use it in QWERTY or put stickers (as I did) and use it in AZERTY?

Yes. ETA means estimated time of arrival.
