In case you haven't already found it.

Yes, mine is on the way. ;-)

I got one as well! Seems like the least expensive way to go :decision:(even though it ain't by any means cheap.) EK doesn't have the non-silent or 55g-only versions up, so if you're looking for those, looks like you're still better of with jrockroll's group buy.

wish it was 55-g, maybe they will release that sometime later. Still, nice to see the anniversary edition in America without needing a contact in japan (i believe) or korea.

It was here but I guess Brian took it off. As always, he likes to tease us. lol Or maybe it's sold out already.

Silent Variable was the one that I wanted. I'm glad I grabbed it early, it looks like they are already gone. Maybe for good. He didn't even leave the listing with "Stock: No" and maybe an ETA or not.

I bet he only had two. ;-) Congrats!

You can get them easily from Taobao. They have stock from several sellers. Just use the vendor forums here for En-taobao

"Easily" from taobao?

One of the recent brokers dropped service and left a LOT of people out to dry.

I would recommend EK over taobao any day. A lot easier for returns/warranty too.

Sure, returning something might be a pain, but.... I guess it's better than no 10th anniversary RF

I don't think it's better.

That's why you'll never find taobao recommended at keyboardlover.com.

MMB · « **Reply #11 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 18:15:41 »

Never said it was better. I said if you can't find one at EK, you have Taobao as an option.

I was saying I don't think it's better than no keyboard at all.

Missed the ek listing, how much were they going for?

hmm, i'm patient. i can wait for him to get the 55gs.

Namkung · « **Reply #16 on:** Sun, 27 May 2012, 13:13:46 »

if only they would declare low value to avoid customs..
had to pay $51.35 in customs last time i ordered a 87u for $299. (also $30 in shipping).

also im very doubtful these are sold out. seems like when things sell out, they are just left on the site marked as sold out .
this was not the case for the "limited" leopold clears but even then, it was marked out as sold out for a bit before being removed from site, as opposed to being removed right away.

Ordering from EK is easier if they have the item in stock. I highly recommend ordering through Lin at EN TaoBao if you need to get something from TaoBao. I just received a keyboard today that I had ordered through her. It was surprisingly fast. Lin is very helpful and will make sure everything is right, including shipping.

What was the cost breakdown for the Pure you ordered through her?

FYI, to get back on topic for a second, i shot EK an email and the response i got was simply "these are out of stock indefinitely, forever, etc".

MMB · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 29 May 2012, 22:39:58 »

Leopold has them in stock, I think....

Maybe I am looking at the wrong place but where does it say that?
I can read Korean and I see no mention of it being sold out on their front page, slide 2 on their thingy

mkawa · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 30 May 2012, 08:19:43 »

lol, sorry. i'm just relaying what my korean officemate told me. he said he tried to order and the app said they were sold out with no eta
