Why not the doubleshot version?  By the time you add $40-$50 in shipping you might as well go all the way.

There is none. Reds only come with lasered keys.

Ontopic: Kinda doubt this will be worth it compared to the one on eBay. If so maybe just a few dollars saved.

I might get one if I felt good about the reputation of the seller.  I've not bought from small walrus before.

How about a split order?  Half reds/lasered, half Browns/Doubleshot?

Well, I got my Ducky 9008 from him and collected it in-person.
He replies all my queries within a day.

If you need more assurance, you can wait for a few fellow Geekhackers to receive their Ducky 9008 and have their take on SmallWalrus.

And that is why products should be produced in the country where they are intended to be consumed . This "Globalization" thing is NOT to the advantage of "ordinary citizens"..

If we didn't get our stuff from China and other areas where labor is cheaper, we would not buy as nearly as much as we do.

People paying to have a good personally handled are going to pay a lot more than the guy who sends containers full of keyboards/mice/whatever overseas.

forget to add insured.
My GF always ship me stuff all the way from Singapore to US.
$70~80 SGD insured. package weight around like a filco keyboard
package as big as Steelseries box.
Postal services are different in USPS, and SingPOS.
unless both are from UPS.

i would still ask walrus to get another direct freight to US instead of ship to SG then to US. which will cost a lot more.

I second this. I ordered dk-9008 from him and it just added unnecessary cost. The only reason why i still got it because it was still much cheaper than elsewhere :/

i believe it is because u have no choice for that, you are in msia, not much msian order that 9008, u cant say add unnecessary cost to your keyboard.

I actually want this board, but how can I pay you guys in S'pore? Paypal? Money transfer?

Another thing, how much is the shipping rate from S'pore to Indonesia? Can you put "Gift" sign when you shipped those boards (in-case I actually buy those boards)?

=========================

Wondering why didn't you post this MO in vr-zone's mass order forum :-?

Americans are not worthy.  All we get are Cherry POS keyboards thanks to our Cherry Corp US Sales Manager.


Is it possible to form a large group buy and talk to the Cherry Corp US Sales Manager directly?

I am interested if shipping is reasonable (Poland here). I would love to try the reds out. Please remember about me if anything works out. ;)

Talk slowly so he understands you.

I swear his name must be Herr Lude.


I don't mind the "Vista logo" key, but talking about this key as if it adds something more ...

I am glad I don't feel the need to get a Cherry MX red keyboard. Money staying in my bank account.
