Title: Where can I get mechanical keyboard in Hong Kong
Post by: viodea on Wed, 25 May 2011, 22:59:42: I'm looking for a good shop in Hong Kong to buy a mechanical keyboard.
I want a reputable shop with fair pricing.
I'm thinking about Noppoo Choc Mini at the moment but may change my mind.

Where are the good keyboard shops in Singapore?

I'll add them to the WW Shopping Wiki (stickied above).

Sim Lim Square is probably your best bet, and the most legendary anyway.

I'm not the one going. I ask my brother-in-law to get it for me. So, I don't want to make him go to China just to get keyboard for me. If he goes, I'll ask him to get it from there instead.
Where is a reliable place to get a Noppoo Choc Mini?

Post by: viodea on Thu, 26 May 2011, 08:41:18: My budget is very low. Hopefully I'll get something decent for under US$70. Otherwise, I would get a Filco here in the US.

Post by: heedpantsnow on Thu, 26 May 2011, 10:26:36: Most of the computer markets in HK have a smattering of mech kb's; I typically go to Wanchai Computer Center but there are others. You can google to get several like Mongkok and x68.

Please don't go expecting to be blown away with selection; even in asia and even with computer nerds mech kb's are still a niche product. Most geeks either go ultra-cheap or bling bling gamer boards with lcds and lights. :-(

Based on the wiki, Wanchai Computer Center

@moonhkt
Maybe you can talk to the people in HKEPC for the places other than Wanchai?

I'll ask him to check Mongkok. It's closer to where he live and sound cheaper. I don't need much selection. I only want to get a Noppoo Choc Mini.
I'm thinking if it'll be easier to get it from taobao instead of store.
