Title: Black on Black
Post by: merutz on Sun, 27 March 2016, 15:54:59: Tried searching but these are not the best keywords to search for in the forum.

Can anyone point me to an MX set similar to the HHKB black on black colorway? As in, as black as possible, unlike that Originative wannabe.

IMSTO has some in stock but the shipping is expensive, that GB I think is one of the ones Ivan has disappeared on but there was a sucessful round 1 that my set is from.

They're too minimalistic. I'm getting the HHKB in the end.
