Has anyone called or emailed SP on this and simply asked them if they made these keys and if so who ordered them?

Can I just say that I still haven't received one?
"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

so... this showed up at my door




apparently, like dan, i sent these to myself. as the package was a package i sent before and they reused it. seeing as i've ran multiple gbs and sold a ton of stuff i have no idea who it's from or even where to start looking. so, how wants to buy one?!

jk, but who wants one? figures i'd get these the same time i decide to pick up another hobby :|

THANK YOU KAWA, I KNOW IT WAS YOU <3

There is a void on my keyboard that only a mystery cap could fill. Will you, Demik, be the one who fills this void?  You likely have my address already too so thats a bonus.

ripster wouldn't do it anonymously because then how would people praise him and stroke his pathetic ego?

What font is that? If it were some of the proposed people, they would have used comic sans.

I didn't even receive a postmark, return address, nothing!

Those that have received a previously used envelope: See about scraping off the label to see what is underneath. There may be an address from before!
