Title: HHKB, including Type-S, back in stock at EK--NOW ON SALE
Post by: saturnotaku on Tue, 28 October 2014, 09:41:04
Maybe not a "great find" in the purest sense, but EK has replenished its supply of HHKBs (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards,hhkbpro2), including both the printed and non-printed Type-S. Even with shipping, at least for the US, EK is almost always, cheaper than Amazon and eBay.

Edit (10/30/14): They are now on sale, $235 for the standard models, $331 for the Type-S.

Yesterday I found $306 in amazon, and $365 in EK.
It should not be the cheapest place to buy HHKB. But it is really nice place to buy double-shot keycaps.

The proxy services often have coupons that discount their service by 3000 yen if the item(s) is/are purchased through Rakuten Global. At least in California, where EK charges tax, this route is cheaper by far. The shipping speed from Japan is also surprisingly quick (less than a week).

Was that brand new? How much was shipping? Not seeing a Type S for less than $350-ish shipped via surface (2-4 weeks) from Japan.
