I've been in touch with the wood keyboard manufacturer since the original posting. I'm arranging for a 1) group buy, 2) possibly distributing their products in the U.S. and Europe. Interestingly, their factory is a only a few miles away from the manufacturing company I represent. I may be able to have one of my partners go to their factory, and hopefully, next time I'm in Taiwan, I can visitSome info for the interested:They have only made complete keyboards, and are in the process of costing just making keys. They have not done this before, it's not their business model. They are in no way set up to make/sell individual keys.At this early stage, an individual key is costing about $7-$17 USD depending on the wood used. Teak is the least expensive, Redwood is the most expensive.So far, there seems to be most interest in ESC, F1-F12 keyscaps, spacebar, and keycaps with no legends. A couple people are interested in complete sets, but the cost is fairly high.There is this thread on Geekhack you can look at for reference http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?1933 ... OQ-keycaps but it makes sense to keep any "sales"/"dialog" at each forum separate, for obvious reasons. I will link this thread in the Geekhack thread as well. There are about 10 pictures of keys in that thread.Let me know of any questions or interest.
