Does anyone have one?

You want to have the Mac model ordered in?

When I bought mine, it was $43 shipping on top of the price of the keyboard, which was $69 at the time, plus $5 for a nicer-looking LED cover. I don't recall what I paid for customs for it — I don't have any record of that off-hand.

Awww I got all excited then thinking that they had released an SSK to the market :(
"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

They reduced the footprint a bit. Less weight and wasted plastic..

Bought my keyboard from them. Fast shipping and delivery - if you use TNT. Don't know about regular post - as I'm from Ukraine, I couldn't choice it anyway :)
