VDS keyboard, $30 Japanese Katakana/English Topre

I snagged one as soon as I saw a cap popped.  There's one left:

Sorry for the screen grab, I didn't want to dig through the source:

Someone got the second one before I could log on to paypal

Who snagged the last one?  I had my thoughts that it was Topre, but also thought it could be Omrons or just a good fake out.  As soon as I got home and saw it was Topre and still available, I grabbed one and posted it here.

Damn, that sucks man.

Honestly, I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did.  I spotted it last night and have been waiting for an answer until I got home.  It easily could have gone while I was at work.  Then I would have been beyond sad.

Will do.  Then I'll flip it in the classifieds as a super rare and uncommon Topre board, totally worth a tricolor Clack.











That last bit is sarcasm just to make sure it's clear to everyone..._{not that I think I could say no to a trade like that if it were offered, even if I would feel so very dirty doing it.}

Too good, actually—I yam happy for you, dude!

And just think—for only ten times what you paid for that ultra-rare KB, you can get one of these fabulous retro-IBM-style RealForces:





BTW, if any of you are so grateful to know about this that you insist on buying one for me, too, I certainly won't stand in your way.  :?D

Do it so you can "Make up in profits what you lose by making your caps so affordable instead of selling them for 40 each on r/mechmarket".

Damn that's a sexy meatball! Glad I wasn't here to buy it, I don't reaalllllly need more boards.

Indeed, it's very easy to quit that habit—we've all done it many times.  :?)
