Newegg.ca

Black and red: $80
Blue: $100
Brown: $110

(bah, I bought my red last week at $100. Damn newegg and their crazy fluctuating prices!)

I'm seeing the pattern that whatever happens to the USA store happens to the Canadian store a week or two later.  Expect the blues to be $80 in early jan.

Just to clarify you're saying that the blues will be $80 in USA by early Jan?

I just saw the black version for $74 at NCIX (no other versions in the listings), was about to check Newegg for other switch options.

$80 for a red with free shipping to boot!  Resistance to full-size fading.......argh!

Waiting for $80 Blues to pounce on Rosewill.

Going to follow it up with a Leopold or Filco.

I am still debating if I should get the one with Cherry MX Red or not. Personally, I don't find the Cherry MX Red to much much different from Cherry MX Brown, and I already have a Filco. It will be another keyboard sitting on the shelves. That said, $80 with free shipping is a nice deal.
Cherry MX Blue: Cherry G80-3000, Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate
Cherry MX Brown: Filco Majestouch, Compaq MX11800
ALPS: AEK, AEK II, Northgate Omnikey Ultra, Matias Tactile Pro 4
Topre: Realforce 103UB
Buckling Spring: IBM Model M 1390120
Previous owned: Unicomp Customizer 104, IBM Model M 1390141, ABS M1

Yes. That seems to be how the newegg.ca store works.
