Sorry was so long ago that I ever had to deal with them... and I like the idea of them being called Franks more, maybe then they would have had some value haha

Did extra work at work, and spent some extra time with my daughter in the evenings as she is on holiday.
"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

Well I mean it's cheaper than on GH.

If you want to be part of the cool kid club on GH you need a 300$+ keyboard.

Contemplated my involvement in the keyboarding world and put some serious consideration into drastically downsizing my collection of just about everything keyboard related I own.

Realforce EK45 (Silenced)  |  Realforce 87UW (45g)  |  Realforce 87UWS (Variable)
Filco MJ2 TKL (Cherry Clears)  |  Phantom 87 (78g Gateron Clears)  |  Phantom 86 (67g Zealios)

Congrats on quitting ! I have been trying for a while now and its super hard. I quit for almost week the last time I tried and was blown away at how nasty my car and clothes  smelled of smoke  :eek: thank god I never smoked in my house !!  Not to mention the financial side of it 8( a pack in Vermont is about $8.75 for a single. If you buy a carton it drops to $7.30 a pack. Smoking a pack a day it's over $50 a week/$200 a month and $2400 a year ...... Sigh I need to look at it like its an extra GMK GB a month  :)) maybe that will help.

   Anyways I hope you had a good week and have a happy fourth  :-*
Looking for Black KMAC 2 or KMAC LE Preferably unbuilt kit but will consider an assembled board with clears Please PM me if you can help 8) Always on the lookout for KBK/KWK Bro Reapers,V2s and Clack factory skulls have lots of caps for trade

Cigarettes in Australia are like $23AUD a pack, even with conversion to USD that is about $17USD.
