This guy is the best.
His prices are amazing and he ships in seconds.
I ordered my HH on sunday and it came this morning.
I have sent for a set of these keys too.
This chap deserves our business!

Nice. We need a US seller with the same items available. :)

Someone fill me in over here...I'm sure I'm mistaken...
I'm under the impression that if I want a Topre Realforce 86U White...I can go to Benippon, pay the $250 price tag + $12 shipping to USA (amazing price!) and have it here within two weeks (customs may need to inspect. So why do we need a US seller? What's the disadvantage with Benippon? Just curious.

Cutting the middle man, ease of using source sites (language, mainly), US promotion, local point of return in case of defects, shorter shipping times, etc. :)

This guy is in Japan but is offering such good deals.
The HH I just got cost £190 with 2 day shipping from Japan.
Retail works out at £180 for the HH at the moment so how he is not loosing money is beyond me!
I am going to see what else I can talk him into selling (the key sets was something I requested :) )

Its not just for the red one.
If you read the listing its for a red esc the purple wasd keys and a professional tool to remove the keys.
When you have paid out £190 for the keyboard itself this is nothing.
Its all about getting the best feel and layout for years to come.
