Well worth the purchase and wait.

Got two of them but may get another for some extra thorpies around the house.  Proud that Matt has finally hit the big time with Realforce since they will quite probably make him their chief designer for future key-sets  ;) .

Legends could not be any worse. Do the people designing these not have eyes?

That is not bad at all if you consider that upcoming SA sets may take a year or more to get delivered.  :))

It's like skull squadron with none of the unique keys to make it interesting. If you squint really hard you might be able to lie to yourself and it think they look the same.

Easy to see that most of the useless whining is coming from all the HHKB owners, now you know you're doing something good when you piss off that tiny minority owning that horrible keyboard  ;D .

As much as I like the idea, those legends are just awful.

I don't know I'm always under the impression most topre users are HHKB owners and that realforce was the minority :/

And its not a bad keyboard :p just not worth the price though ;)

Even when the similarity of the colors calls for a comparison with the skull set, these one is completely different, here there was no flexibility on legends or special novelties so the comparison is sort of out of place.
