Hey, everybody, I live in mainland China but will be going to Taipei here in a couple of weeks for meetings. The question is: is there anything (keyboard or otherwise gadget) that is especially good to buy there, and where do I get it? I can buy a lot of stuff on Taobao here, but surely there's stuff made there that's cheaper/better selection, right?
I already have a Filco but would love to pick up a KBC or Noppoo Choc Mini.

nothing I can think of. Mainland China has EVERYTHING.

Lol nice screenname :D

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. I know Ducky is from Taiwan but, other than some watercooling stuff made by Bitspower or components from Asus, Acer, etc. (which I don't need currently) there isn't much that comes to my mind.

Haha, I'm glad someone got the reference. "Heed" was my nickname back when I had hair :D

Taiwan is the home of all the biggest and best motherboard, case and graphics card manufacturers. Also RAM - highly recommend grabbing PC gear if you're over there. Also try and get tours of Thermaltake's new HQ - it's awesome. See the bit-tech feature here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2011/01/31/touring-thermaltake-s-very-red-new-hq/1

You guys crack me up. I might just go wander around a computer market and take pictures for all of you! :D

Does anyone know which is the best computer/electronics market there?
Is there anywhere there I can go to buy key caps?

When I was there a few years ago, we visited a large computer market called: Guang Hua Digital Plaza (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guang_Hua_Digital_Plaza)

Hi, Nicole, thank you for your input. Could you tell me what you mean by "that is not located inside the building, being in the roadway"? I don't understand.
Thanks for your help!

Guang Hua is a main plaza for computer parts and random electronics. But, around the perimeter of the building there are plenty of other computer shops. Nicole must mean that there are a variety of keyboard shops located around the Guang Hua plaza.

Taiwan used to be the place to get ANSI layout Topres from, before EK started importing them.
