I LOLed. He's funneh.

What I can give you is to go to www.taobao.com (China's largest online marketplace, more confusing but lots more stuff than eBay) and type in whatever you want.

Check their shopnames and see whether they have a brick and mortar store, maybe locate it and maybe buy from there?

I only know the few Taiwanese online retailers that have a storefront but not so for China. You might wanna ask one of our forum members, "pang0011" for details though. He seems to deal alot through China and he might give a heads up on where to buy in China.

PS: China's big. You need to specify where your parents are headed.

where would your parents be? if Beijing or Nanjing or Shenzheng there are some place to get ducky kbd and KBC keycaps, or get some friends to buy them with Taobao.

Shanghai



Wenzhou (never heard of it)

Although listing a few other stores in other places that may have keyboards on display would be helpful for other Geekhackers heading to China.

If you or your parents can speak chinese try navigating their website and arrange local pickup. (http://www.pconline.com.cn/pconline/market/sh/sh.html)

They have Cherry Corps: Cherry Corp Brown MX G80-3484. (http://m.pconline.com.cn/c302579/pid:2191323/product_detail.html)

They have Filcos (http://m.pconline.com.cn/c302579/pid:2528135/product_detail.html).

You can thank me by sending me a Cherry Red version.

With the 1087 I am unsure. The google translation of the taobao says that they have 20 pieces on hand, but also mentions pre-order in the description.
