Not sure if they're in stock, but not a bad price if you're down under and want one of these:

I went down this road about a year ago. I think the guy who owns the shop got sick and never fixed his website. It has been broken since at least last Christmas. I have also tried email and got no response.

I am not even sure if that is still a company.

I think Rowdy in that general area and may know something

Their site broke when I tried to contact them with a query about a specific keyboard.

So I emailed them directly, about the site and the keyboard.

He replied a day later and said they were working on a new site, which should be available November(-ish).  And he didn't know if they had the keyboards in stock as they keep most of them somewhere else (the actual shop is just a small place sandwiched between two other small shops).

I haven't heard back from him since, and even emailed another couple of times with no response.
"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
