Definitely a 356L since they're no longer made and I'm a big fan of Linear switches.

I want a WASD to replace the Blackwidow. I like the BW, but I have a number of white keycaps that don't look quite right on it.

The Miniguru, no question.


Would be cooler with MX Reds, the Choc Mini Layout and keycaps for neo (with different colored backit for each modifier), but you can't ask for too much ;)

Ask Bruce with KeyboardCo if he can get you one.  Elitekeyboards could special order them.  They were $300 at the time.  I don't think there was anything too special about them.  You could get with whatever switch/color option you wanted.  I think they were just empty shells and they would take an off-the-shelf keyboard, take the guts out and put them in the aluminum shell.

I am already good to go really. If there was a magic fully programmable winkeyless Poker that would be it. But since there isn't... if there was some magic deep pocketed Santa roaming around, a Realforce tenkeyless wouldn't be bad. WTF was with that steno ad? Available in your choice of 3 shades of indistinguishable white, are they kidding?

I still have hope for my 2011 Keyboard Prediction to become 100% true.

A HHKB3 with arrow keys under the Xmas Tree Santa!


I'll second this but I would choose either a HHB3 with arrow keys but in the silent version or a white 87U variable weighted in the silent version.  Does anyone know where I can find either?

Even though I'm in love with my all-45g 87U and want to try a 55g for work, I'm fixated for some reason on getting a Poker.
