$63 postage to Australia *sigh*
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

That's actually pretty good.


Ncbound again. He has some good stuff! I notice that (unfortunately) not all the segments of the calculator display function, so I'll have to pass. This is an awesome KB though, and I do believe a good price, too. These are white ALPS, right?

I've purchased 3 boards from nc bound in the past...all alps boards.  If the board or switches suck, he doesn't sell them.  The stuff he sells is all in very good condition.

Difference between this and FK-8000? The far left keys?

The 9000's left keys are programmable.  Also note the arrow block is 8-way instead of 4-way.  I have one I never cleaned up because it begs for a controller swap so you can do something modern with those left keys and also no longer need the impossible-to-affordably-replace battery.

I saw someone talking about how they modded it to just use a battery like CR2032 someplace.
