Wow. Great find!

I added it to my watch list, even though I really don't like single unit BS keys...curious to see how this takes off :$

Doesn't the AT use two-part keys?

I would go after this if the shipping wasn't $111. Also, I'm sure that the price will get much higher than $20.

They use single-part keys.

You can always swap them out with two-part keys.

"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

Yeah, but you have to fight through seven waves of drop bears to get to it.

Buyer beware: shipping for me says "ask seller". It's a pet peeve of mine when someone marks shipping way up; it seems borderline dishonest when 99% of sellers are doing cost recovery only on shipping.

I'm on mobile, but when I touched that, it listed normal shipping rates with $18 USPS Flat Rate shipping.

On desktop I see the shipping price in the usual place, along with a few options for shipping.

Something interesting is of the three choices:

* Economy Shipping (USPS Parcel Select®),
* Expedited Shipping (USPS Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box®)
* Standard Shipping (UPS Ground)

One is more expensive than the others depending on where you're sending it.  E.g. for 90210 expedited USPS is cheapest, while for 10101 standard UPS is cheapest.  Maybe something to do with UPS zones?

Isn't an AT ridiculously heavy anyway? Maybe some tracked shipping thingymajigbob with heavy packing on a lead-weight keyboard...?
