Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: qtan5370 on Tue, 04 October 2011, 14:58:09: I got several people ask about this keyboard and I find it from Pchome in Taiwan and they do ship international(but only have Chinese webpage). Also, they carry some of ducky too. So here I checking how many needs for this board as long as some other staff from PChome T.W, than we group up order it so might get some discount.

http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH28-A58428401&SR_NO=DCAH28&ROWNO=16&tm=u

Price is 98-99 dollar, shipping is 10 dollars to U.S./AU 20 Dollars to EU (up to 5KG/11 pounds!)

All staff have price at NT, but you can click the word "美金?" right next to the price to get dollar price. Google translation is enough for you look up item.

They don't have Filco...

Post by: leotnnz on Tue, 04 October 2011, 18:33:11: FYI, the price may fluctuate a little due to exchange rate. it costs me $114 totally for a red switch one. great alternative for a filco 87 red.

Post by: qtan5370 on Tue, 04 October 2011, 18:45:34: I believes Noppoo Red is good alternative for filco 87 red. No much idea about CM staff, they are good at making cooler..

This is true, and one reason I was looking forward to the CMstorm.

Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 09:27:14: I'm ok with out of stock if it's only for a week or two to replenish. Considering battlesheep was in the main thread talking to us I would say they are working to refill those orders quickly.

I don't want to end up like the Filco where just as I find out about it and decide to want Red switches they are impossible to find NEW for any kind of decent price.

Post by: kaiserreich on Wed, 05 October 2011, 09:51:12: @qtan,

PCHOME is not the only place selling it.
Maybe you can group buy from Armygroup/Inpad, or ask your taiwanese friend to visit the Guang Hua Business Center where they sell all kinds of electronics stuff, CM Storm included I think
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 09:51:38: lol Yeah , I know ..... I was hoping it was a marketing gimmick and they would have " limited edition " like every 3 months.
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 09:52:37: With 12 people interested.... My only concern with getting from somewhere other than PCHOME is the shipping costs. I love the $10 shipping Idea as that will allow me to buy some caps to put on it as well.

Post by: alaricljs on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:08:02: Single CM Storm KBs from armygroup start at $128 shipped... the reds are of course more.
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:14:12: That's $128 shipped anywhere in the world ? And what is the price hike on reds ? I saw I think it was the Keyboardco offering Filco 104 keys in reds for 50 lbs(?) more than the others and with convertion is was upwards of $220 for those here in the US.
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: Khenra on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:15:13: qtan, maybe you can contact CoolerMaster HQ themselves? They might be able to supply directly to you.

Or you could try contacting a user on this site. His acc name is: battlesheep
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: alaricljs on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:21:27: Looks to be just another $10 for the reds. So $138. It's EMS shipping so I don't know how that changes for non-North American destinations. Should be the same cost for Canada, money conversions aside.

Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:21:57: Am I reading the currecny exchange rate wrong here ?

http://www.armygroup.com.tw/shop/goods.php?id=6978#

2790 Chinese = 437 USD ?
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: qtan5370 on Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:27:36: I already call CoolerMaster HQ China they will help me with that. The price in China is 2-3 dollar cheap, but the problem is I can't not ship it like that low in PChome unless use cheapest air mail, it would be at lest 16 dollar shipping to U.S.

PLU or Noppoo TLK W/ Red Switches is in stock. Army goup or Ipad is hard to deal with, they would never replay me.

Post by: enoy21 on Sun, 09 October 2011, 07:15:22: Yeah I have no idea what was going on with my ordering. The chick at Paypal I think pulled a fast one , because she told me to wait 2-3 hours to try to order again but to call back if I still couldn't. When I called back they were closed. Typical " I get off is 1 hour and won't have to deal with it anymore" routine.

I'm starting to wonder if just going with browns is the way to go since it's so hard to get the reds in TKL right now.

Post by: enoy21 on Sun, 09 October 2011, 08:24:57: That's currently the plan. I put some money in my Paypal account so and supposedly they lifted any restrictions on international purchases at Paypal , so we shall see what happens. I figure I can give it another week or two for a restock. Perhaps sooner though Qtan can get in touch with someone. Even if all 4 of those sold from here in this thread we still have about 12 people wanting to get it.

Post by: qtan5370 on Mon, 10 October 2011, 13:05:13: OK, I got confirmed that I can order via someone, I will open a group buy threat, price might be a little higher than PChome price(depend on the final amount I order), since I have to pay someone doing that and the exchange rate in RMB is higher. I will still call PChome to see if they can do it for me.

Hope tonight can get it done.

Post by: enoy21 on Mon, 10 October 2011, 22:09:42: I'm not concerned with the keycaps. I don't mind the Chinese once and I had considered some white Caps as a seperate purchase. So is the Shipping going to be the 10/20 shipping that's from PChome or is it going to vary dependant on location ? If It's going to be that much more ,then I will likely hold my breath and wait for PChome to come back instock so I can afford the extra keycaps.

Post by: qtan5370 on Tue, 11 October 2011, 01:28:35: All keyboard PChome offer is Chinese, the picture is English, but the title stated it is Chinese, so you will receive Chinese printed, which I showed, even if you order from PChome. I confirmed it from Factory...Well, might be very few English left..

Post by: enoy21 on Tue, 11 October 2011, 07:51:07: Part of me almost thinks the Chinese along with the English adds a little custom flair to it.

But yeah , Final cost after shipping and time frames for delivery will be my deciding factor.

Post by: qtan5370 on Tue, 11 October 2011, 10:56:01: Ok, I will start a group buy. Price for Red switches has to be 117 dollars + shipping vary by location(16-28 dollars, stander/express,check my website for detail). Order Ship from Main land China, not from Tai Wan.

And if you combine a set of PBT caps with the keyboard, caps have 10% discount.

Brown is 110 dollars.

I know it is about 20 higher than PChome, but I have to pay someone to get it and it goes from TaiWan to Mainland China. The price might go down few dollars depend on the total order.

Got about 10 Red ready for ship, then have to order some from Factory. I might ship all 10 to U.S. Warehouse first, but other place order also welcome. I will decide by Friday, additional keyboard order from Factory take about 1-2 weeks.

Post by: wompwomp on Mon, 17 October 2011, 13:47:26: Aren't these $75 shipped from PChrome?...

This is just my thought, but I think that Chinese "RE"sellers enjoy ripping people off.

BTW: over on overclock.net, one of cooler masters representatives stated that these keyboards will be releasing very soon with a starting price of $79.99.

Post by: csm725 on Mon, 17 October 2011, 15:11:12: Yes but not in MX Reds for the US market. They are $100 + shipping on PCHome. Basically you're lying.
Title: [Interesting Check] CM Storm W/ Red/Black switches and Ducky From PChome(TW)
Post by: alaricljs on Mon, 17 October 2011, 15:11:21: $110 to the US from PCHome for the non-red switch versions.

Post by: csm725 on Mon, 17 October 2011, 18:04:53: I got my Red switch for $110 shipped to Israel, it would also be $110 shipped to the US.

Post by: alaricljs on Mon, 17 October 2011, 18:11:53: Thought it was $110/$120... guess it's $100/$110 or the exchange rates have changed some more.

Post by: enoy21 on Mon, 17 October 2011, 18:31:17: I know a few weeks ago it was $98 + ten shipping to the US. I did read on OCN or Deskauthority that there was a plan for 79.99 . Quote was something like " 79.99 boys " Because I remember thinking it must be a woman saying that.

Post by: reaper on Mon, 17 October 2011, 22:58:22: I'm pretty sure that it's a dude. lol Anyway, he's the actual CM rep and here's the exact quote:

"$79.99 boys, waiting on the shipment. The first batch will be shipping with blues... More to come."

(link (http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/1102940-cm-storm-quick-fire-rapid.html#post15018980))

So from what I gather, first batch will be blues with browns and blacks to follow. Not sure about reds but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make it to U.S.

Post by: HWI on Tue, 18 October 2011, 21:08:05: I got mine(with reds) from PCHome and it was ~$110 shipped.

AFAIK, the version with reds will not be sold in North America.
