Title: elite keyboards
Post by: Cyanide on Mon, 27 December 2010, 19:30:00: anyone been to the store in diamond bar? i just found out where it was located, and i live like 10 mins away, and was wondering if they had a lot of stuff in the store that they don't have online, or is it all going to be the same?

Ha! You'd probably see all his keyboards and try to hump his leg. Then get placed on his 'banned customers' list along with Welly. Who, I assume, is the only one on that list.

Post by: ynih on Tue, 28 December 2010, 02:11:22: Majestouch/Elitekeyboards does not have a store front.

Their registered address is, unfortunately, just a PO box number. If you check out google maps, the # is the store for the local USPS/UPS/FEDEX center, called "Diamond Mail & Shipping" (Diamond as in the city's name is Diamond Bar). I walked in there once, looking around for "ste 104" and the Korean Owner gave me such a dirty look. I approached him asking for "Suite 104" (in english) and he looked at me as if I spoke Martian to him, and gave me a look that was between "**** off" and "do I give a ****."

I called Brian at EK, and he said most of the KBs are actually stocked near Riverside.

I live 1 minute away from EK's registered address. Now, unless their Mailing center is a front for some organized KB scene...then you got me.

You should tell him to get a new receptionist.

Post by: ynih on Tue, 28 December 2010, 04:25:48: Brian said their operation isn't that big to warrant any more personnel...Brian told me they were looking to hiring some part time college students for some *****/grunt work (not quite how he put it, but that's how I understood it)....like filing or something...lol. But I'd doubt he'd let any of us near his stash. >_>

Post by: chuckading on Tue, 28 December 2010, 17:52:48: I recently discovered I'm in the same city as Metadot (Das Keyboards) and they do kinda have a storefront and will let you try some keyboards. I'd totally be there, but they don't have any tenkeyless boards and what they do have is a fingerprint magnet
