What does the site say when you have to select the delivery address?

Post by: spolia optima on Mon, 12 September 2011, 19:15:23: I wonder if these guys will ship to the US?

Post by: kaiserreich on Tue, 13 September 2011, 03:48:02: It says this
( Erfahren Sie mehr .) Ändern Sie entweder die Lieferadresse, oder entfernen Sie den Artikel durch klicken auf "Löschen"

Google translate says they can't ship to this address.
I tried some fake UK or US address but that doesn't work. When I tried a German address, it worked.

I think Jacob-Elektronik was shipping worldwide, I bought computer parts on several occasions from them and never had any problems.

Easiest way to find out might be sending a mail.

Post by: zmurf on Tue, 13 September 2011, 06:35:46: Jacob-Elektronik do ship outside Germany at least. I bought my Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2 from there. And I live in Sweden.

They are quite easy to get inside Europe. But might get decent price if you were able to get some wholesaler and redistribute those then.

That depends on what prices that you can get.

Post by: spolia optima on Sat, 17 September 2011, 13:06:53: Does this have a euro style enter key?
If so, what the heck does the "EU" designation mean? The G80-3000LPCEU has a proper ANSI enter key

That makes no bloody sense... I'm looking at a G80-8200LPB**US** and it has ISO enter!

What the heck, Cherry?

Hi guys i can get Cherry G80-3000LQMEU-0 , only 3 pieces. Supports only PS/2.
Anyone interested?

Price will be 75USD before shipped.
Need a response within 10 hours time.

Let me know if someone is keen on handling this 3 pieces.

I think they would, someone needs just to order a thousand or couple of them.

Newegg might be responsive to this if enough people asked their purchasing department to consider it? I've seen them carry far more esoteric things.
Title: Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2
Post by: spolia optima on Sat, 01 October 2011, 11:15:03: Yeah, but look at how many Cherry-made MX 'boards are actually sold on Newegg. Not very many.
What the US needs is another $65 G80-3000 special like 2009's LSCRC
Title: Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2
Post by: Marclgw on Sat, 01 October 2011, 15:00:12: Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2 is not common as after a long time in the market Cherry have very low consumer response on this model of keyboard which is why it is not release in many countries over the world.
Even if you want to get this keyboard and Newegg starts to order.
i strongly doubt that they can get it immediately and the lead time might be as long as up to 3-6 months.
Title: Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2
Post by: N8N on Sat, 01 October 2011, 15:29:53: Which means that most people will just buy something else, because they can't get a Cherry board, and even if they can, it costs almost as much as a plate-mount board. self-perpetuating problem...

Cheaper, no?
Title: Cherry G80-3000LQCEU-2
Post by: N8N on Sun, 02 October 2011, 17:14:25: that still just seems like a lot for what you get... yeah the keycaps are better but for the same price you can get a Rosewill which is plate mount or for an insignificant additional amount you can pick between Das, Leopold or WASD, again all plate mount and 6KRO over USB...
