as i remember it it was brian from ek and someone else? i think it was something about how EK was supposed to be an exclusive US topre dealer or something and massdrop started dropping realforce keyboards. don't quote me on this one.
i'll miss the clack raffles for sure.

edit: ah, i've found it. https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=9836 and scroll down to the posts regarding the FC660c. Right below the post where I was quoted. The deal was that EK was supposed to distribute the Leopold FC660C upon release but some kid organized a group buy on GH. I remember being super excited to be one of the first ones to try the all new Leopold topre keyboard. Good times for sure.

That was about a year after Rowdy joined - a long time ago, and probably didn't notice at the time anyway.
