And only US $34.93 shipping to Australia - very low, for a keyboard of this size.
"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

I like those stepped keys. Wish I could find blank ones.

Model F 122 are going cheap these days.  And a lot of them seem to be in fine condition.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

Hmmm.  I might be forced to buy one if they stay it this price.  God help me.

The low-$100s shipped is a good price range for these. You can do a lot with them.
