* 285$ + 85$ shipment to Japan, + 1700yen tax
* After arrival, the left space-key was not pushed upwards after getting pressed. Removing the cap, trying to remove the 2 sabilitzers, and assembling again seems to have fixed the issue. Others have removed the stabilizers, or used key lube, to solve the issue.

I modified the layout from
{{ :hardwarerelated:layout_default2.jpg?direct&400 |}}
to more match Thinkpad layouts - with one tweak, bottom row left is on Thinkpads "Fn", but here "Ctrl".
{{ :hardwarerelated:layout_customized2.jpg?direct&400 |}}
Bottom left Ctrl is the only key which does not have the proper cap.
