    Most probably pink or lime green :D

    There aren't many of them over here but then I don't think that there are many people who pay that much if I did decide to sell it!

    I don't spend much on hardware and I have always wanted to try one!

    Probably not on this forum, but I reckon on GeekHack you'll get a few bites as well as maybe OC.net.

    If Longweight decides to sell he knows who to contact :D
    (and incase he doesn't, here's a hint, it's me.)

    You're going to love it!

    I said quite a few pages the keyboards would have to give me head to be able to get me to fork out this much for them..

    It didn't have to, it's an amazing keyboard! It just feels solid.

    Haha! If I love them then I am sure I can bring it with me next time that I am in Essex!

    It's amazing that this thread is so active :D

    Glad you will be joining the club, it's an expensive but awesome one!

    Well it seems that Mars Bar Man and I aren't splashing as much as the rest of you, but still, I look forward to it, I'm getting really sick of this Slimstar I220. :lol:

    Edit: W00T, nobody ninjad' me! :D

    I'm not a Topre expert... not sure if the full sets for the Realforce boards include the short right shifts the hhkb have or not. Otherwise I believe it should cover everything else on the board.

    It's because typing on these things is just so damn addictive! It has actually changed my outlook on keyboards!

    I'm going home this weekend. Seriously debating taking mine with me so I don't have to use the crappy rubber domed thing we have at home.


    Haha, my student loan wouldn't stretch to above the £80 mark! I spent £75 on this board because I wasn't about to trust anything other than Amazon :p

    Seems like I'll have exactly the same reaction, can't wait to try such a compact layout too!
    Keeps remind me of the video on the previous page, every tap is cream worthy!

    Yep, I plugged my old one into my laptop because even though it sometimes doesn't register presses at least it's A key works, where as my laptops doesn't.

    There's a massive difference in comfort, quality and general awesome. It was pretty horrid to use, everything felt mushy and wobbly. If I bottom out the keys on the Noppoo there's no wobble, it just stays firm. I use my old board and the keys are jiggling about more than a fat woman's backside.

    That would depend on how many posts you have per page :p

    I feel the same which is why I have one at work, will soon have one to take to uni and head office too :D

    Damn that is a good price!
