Hey everyone, I'm new here, but I've been lurking for the past few days. I can't believe there's such a informative forums on keyboards >.> Then again I only recently learned about mechanical ones in particular...
I've more or less decided that I wanted Cherry Browns because I like tactile and I need the noiseless bit. Otherwise blues would still be on the table..
I've been meaning to buy either a Das or a Filco, but Metadot refuses to answer my emails when I asked them about their discount, and elitekeyboards is out of stock on Filco. I snooped around and found out they've been like that since early last month, so I doubt they will be restocking on them anytime soon... Or even at all since I didn't find a date on restock either.
So should I wait out on Metadot? I've been waiting for around 3-4 days already but nope, I think their customer service is either really too flooded or consists of 3 people trying to answer a billion emails in their short workdays -_- Or should I just drop that and try buying a Filco off the other two TW sites? I've bought things from DealExtreme before (and suffered 2 month shipping -_-), but nothing that expensive so I'm a little wary on it. I can read Chinese somewhat so that doesn't really bother me so much, aren't I lucky XD
On the other hand, if anyone else wants to suggest me a better keyboard that I will most likely use more for gaming, I'm all ears. I'm willing to put $100ish but if something is that particularly awesome and will last me a decade or so I might put out some more. Thanks!

PCHome sounds like a good bet. I don't think anyone has had a negative experience yet.

All right I'll be trying that. Thanks!

Yup, PChome seems pretty solid to me. And fast. Less than a week for my keyboard to me in my very excited hands.
Just be sure to use Google Chrome to make the translating smoother.
