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...

ZeroGraVT · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 15:11:53 »

Does this one have the Chinese characters on them or is it just like the pic on the site?

I'd be interested in CM Storm w/ brown switches

I'm in for a CM Storm with MX Red Switches

My interest has been checked. (I'm interested in the CMstorm)

Edit: that is to say: My check turned out to be interesting.
Here's an interesting cheque:

I'd be down for a CM Storm with Reds.

interested in one with red switches

qtan5370 · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 18:28:06 »

oh, we got 4 already, that's good. Wait until this week then I will ask for discount based on the amount interest.

leotnnz · « **Reply #10 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.

qtan5370 · « **Reply #11 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..

enoy21 · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 18:53:27 »

I'm in for a CM Storm with Red Switches (Probable) I'd like to see a few more reviews , but it looks like the best deal for me to get a TKL in Red for a reasonable price.

ZeroGraVT · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 20:11:19 »

I'm also in for one CM storm with red switches.

qtan5370 · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 22:18:35 »

Red is out of Stock.....I will keep looking it.

csm725 · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 04 October 2011, 23:24:09 »

In for Red too. Was going to order from PCHome but they were out of stock.

That sucks. Tenkeyless w/ Red switches are really hard to find. I may just end up going with a Poker for my small form factor Red switch needs.

phrenzy · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 03:09:31 »

I am in as long as the pictures from the site are showing the proper keycaps.

EDIT: Red switch only

jpm804 · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 07:35:01 »

I'm in also if more red switches come up...

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

enoy21 · « **Reply #21 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.

noodles256 · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 09:31:47 »

in for red, thank

Well it IS limited edition... Or should that be WAS ?

kaiserreich · « **Reply #24 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

enoy21 · « **Reply #25 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.

enoy21 · « **Reply #26 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.

alaricljs · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:08:02 »

Single CM Storm KBs from armygroup start at $128 shipped... the reds are of course more.

enoy21 · « **Reply #28 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.

Khenra · « **Reply #29 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

alaricljs · « **Reply #30 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.

enoy21 · « **Reply #31 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 ?

qtan5370 · « **Reply #32 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.

enoy21 · « **Reply #33 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:33:48 »

So what is the turn around time ( typically ) for cheapest air mail ? Are we talking a week or 6 weeks ? What are you looking at as "final price with shipping " if you get from CoolerMaster direct ?

reaper · « **Reply #34 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:41:01 »

Hmm.. I'll have to think about it. lol

Wrong currency... google: 2790 TWD in USD

qtan5370 · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:46:29 »

Well, really high demand.....Next year would be more and more keyboards! I hear a lot companies planning on new keyboard....

enoy21 · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 05 October 2011, 10:53:28 »

Lol D'OH ! Thank you for the currency correction.

And yes , Thank you Qtan for your efforts in checking on all this.

Armygroup you cannot email them, need to use the leave a message method. 给客服留言
Inpad you need to contact them via MSN Messenger

What about shipping to EU? PCHome shipping to EU is 20 euro. You might not be able to do it cheap for US customers, but it might be a good deal for us Europeans.

Any updates on this ? I keep hitting the PChome site and assume it's still saying out of stock when I get that popup window that I can't read.

qtan5370 · « **Reply #49 on:** Sat, 08 October 2011, 12:04:00 »

Out of stock

Checking in China, no replay yet, they just back to work.
