FC660C Dye-subs
« on: Sun, 27 April 2014, 10:22:12 »
I'm sure most of you guys here already know this, but now that the gray ones are out, I can't wait to see the white ones.

White please. Can't wait to see them in North America, so I can try to get my hands on one of them in Canada. :)
Knock Knock.
Race Condition.
Who's there?

FC660C with white keycaps (and ideally white case) - a shame I have run out of money :(
"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

if they do a white version I will be so sad because I will have to buy it :(

maybe I should just try to find a white case that is compatible with the 660c

I love my Typeheaven(s) but I would like to add a unprinted White/Gray model to the stable.

Legit! ordered. They have 47 in stock.

Very jealous!

How fast do you guys think they will sell out? Do you think waiting a week or two is way too long?

Now it says "The item you selected is unavailable at this time"

Ruh roh... Brian said to me last week that he's planning a newsletter, probably didn't mean to have them available til then. Hopefully he honors the order, I assume he will.
