Topre 10th Anni 55G - Ebay (Expired)

It's not really a great find, quite pricey actually. But for those that love the colorway of the 10th anni keyboard and want it in 55g...

It's been on there for months.

Now stop advertising so I can have time to save for it!

Yep, this is the regular price. They seem to pop up, a few at a time, every few months.

Totally worth it though!  ^-^

Still the best out-of-box retail keyboard, IMO.  :)

Can't do anything about that. Even if I could, it doesn't bother me. I much prefer this to the all-black RF where the legends are barely legible.

A lot of people prefer the otaku style legends apparently though. I think I've even seen people ask about mx caps like that.

I love my HiPro caps so the 10th anni are off the list (good for my wallet!)

If you're a 100%, confirmed Thorpie Lover, then this keyboard MUST be added into your collection.  Otherwise you'll always curse the day you where born into this world and never taking the opportunity to own, caress and play with this keyboard.

I've been saving up for one of these for ages, but I keep spending my money on other things.

Like I bought a server yesterday.
"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

GDI you guys... I've been meaning to buy this keyboard either way but was waiting for end of the month cause I've spent thousands already in the first 2 weeks.

Before this thread was made, there was 2 left. Since then, someone from here (maybe) has bought 1.

I had to snag the last one thanks to you GL1TCH3D xD

Can't say I'm a fan of the way the red WASD and baby-poop Clack look on the 10A. They'd be a better fit on a standard black or white model. But I'm just an a-hole on the Internet. Long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.  :cool:

I say this with all sincerity: That Dolch is sexy as hell. My biggest problem with his RF is that Clack - if it were pretty much any color but what it is, it would look fine, but it sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.

Don't mess with AUTHENTICITY  >:D .

Keep it REAL and simple and DON'T start adding idiotic Clacks and whatnot to any keyboard because it's so infantile (fine if your currently 5 years old and know nothing about basic aesthetics).

We dig your philosophy, dude, but in the real world, people can probably do whatever they want with their own KBs—especially, I'd say, if they've gone and paid, like, $400 for them. At prices like that, seems to me they've bought the right to mod them however makes them happy.

BTW, is "colorway" a real word? I love how new words get created to fill needs. It's sure easier than saying "color scheme" or "color pattern" or whatever.

The word colorway is used quite frequently to describe keysets.
