I think that was supposed to be some sort of joke about the site being for keyboard foot fetishists.

So I made an order a couple days ago for some conical feet just to see what kind of shipping quote I would get. I received an email just a couple of hours ago saying that my items had shipped and the freight charge was $8. I bought four feet for $0.33 each. So yeah. Don't order from these guys unless you need a ton of stuff.

Yeah, they charged me $6 to ship two feet. It would make more sense to run a group buy or something where one order can be placed then distributed by the middleman more cheaply. That being said, the product is of good quality. I stuck the feet to the bottom of my Realforce, and now it doesn't slide around my desk when I bump it. The problem is the RF case is ever-so-slightly warped, so the stock feet don't rest perfectly level. I wish Topre/Realforce would get with the times and at least rubberize the feet like every other keyboard company is doing nowadays.
