You gotta be on the inside to appreciate the inside jokes :p
"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

'Endgame' or 'End game' - what does it stand for and what does it really mean?
I don't understand.

Endgame (end game) - When a person of the keyboard community purchases a worthy device and decides that it is the device that will end their need to quench a certain technological thirst. Little does that person know, shouting endgame at the top of the proverbial mountain rarely solidifies the ideals of keyboard perfection. Every so often someone actually reaches end game, and there is much rejoicing. Sometimes the rejoicing is followed by the consumption of grape juice, although, grapejuice is not required. :confused:
