Title: MX Brown Board from Japan
Post by: HaaTa on Thu, 22 April 2010, 09:40:19

Apparently new, as per the website (too lazy and tired to translate atm).

EZ-KB108C02-BK (http://www.vshopu.com/item/2104-0601/index.html)

What caught my eye though was the price: 5,980 Yen

These 'boards are all starting to look alike.  It seems like they contract the same 2-3 OEMs and produce the same 'boards with a different logo.  In a nutshell... boooorrrrriiiing.  The price looks pretty good on this one, though.

I'm waiting for the Chinese to start cranking out the HHKB clones with double shot keys.

So you can harvest them?

I'd love a cool Japanese board with tiny spacebar, mod keys galore but a standard enter key.

I would never harvest Chinese people.  That would be cruel.

The French on the other hand...
