Title: Greetings from 'straya

Hi there.

Using Das Keyboard with blues and the volume wheel. The wheel has lost its tactile bumps now sadly.

I thought I was happy with the blues I was typing on, but now I need a hhkb type s (probably the best sound on a keyboard I've ever heard) and a model M for the next step in tactility (or a modded Model F, but that + shipping is crazy expensive)

Wish I got into this when the AUD was stronger than the USD!

Welcome to Geekhack!

It certainly made a difference knowing that you could known a bit off the US price to get the Aussie price back then, but everything back to normal now - multiple by 1.2 or whatever it is these days.  I just Google it like "115USD in AUD" for example.

You can occasionally find Model Ms on eBay (even in Australia!).  I was lucky enough to find an auction for two that was close enough to pickup.

Keep looking, have patience, and one will turn up.
