Hello DT!

I'm going to Tokyo next week, and will go keyboard shopping

Do you recommend any stores?
What is cheaper in Japan? (compared to Sweden/Europe)
Anything particular I should bring back for fellow DT:ers?

Personally I'm thinking of replacing my Realforce 88UB 45g with a HHKB Pro JP.
I love the Realforce, but want something even more compact with more thumb modifiers.

HHKB Japanese edition, CS NEO topre keyboard, wireless filco keyboard =)

How much are they over there?

HHKB for sure, around 265 usd or something (pro2)

Bought my white HHKB Pro 2 for 21000 yen, which is about $255, but I'm pretty sure I saw the black one for about 19000 yen in some places. Also, it was quite hard to find the white one, interestingly enough.
If you're interested in keyboards with Japanese layout, you should buy one (or a few ). I really regret I didn't! Was close to buying an Archiss keyboard with JIS layout and MX Clears for 8000 yen (and it felt really sturdy for that cheap of a price too), but I didn't and I kind of regret it.

I reckon the price of the 10th anniversary Realforces was quite low too, if you'd be interested in that.

Bon voyage, as the French say!

Can you get me one of these (if you can find one)?

EDIT: Maybe 2.

Try yodabashi camera. I think they have a store in akihabara
