Title: KBC Poker with Red switches
Post by: rainb1ood on Wed, 25 January 2012, 14:35:07

I'm looking to buy this keyboard. I've been searching everywhere. So far only blacks and blues are on eBay. Sell me your Poker reds!

Currently located in Florida, USA. Willing to pay up to $100

Good Luck finding one of these.  I'll also be looking for this but will probably end up waiting for a group buy or seeing if somebody in Australia can help me get one.

Might want to also stick a post in the thread on qtan's subforum expressing interest:  http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?26582-availability-of-Poker-mx-reds

Thanks for the free bumps. Will be posting in that thread.

EDIT: Those taobao listing of Poker reds are just not updated right? Tried searching there and a bunch of them in the results.

Honestly we might want to consider an Australian group buy.  They seem to be available at MechKeyboards but the shipping cost makes it not worth sending just one.  The shipping is a ***** honestly ($65 for one keyboard, basically).

What happened to the one you were trying to get off that guy from the group buy?

Edit: Just read the other thread.  That's kinda lousy. :(

I'm looking at costs and it looks like even in a group buy through Australia these things will end up being $150 AUS :/

^ Are you in Australia?  Sorry I don't see it listed on your profile.

We should have a thread like over at Deskthority (http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1386) telling members to add their coutries to their profiles. =P

No, I was looking at what it would cost to buy from MechKeyboards (about the only place that claims to have these in stock right now) and ship to the US.  At 4 keyboards it goes down to the $160AUD range post-shipping and gets marginally better from there.  ~$180AUD(~190 US) for a singleton.

Yeah a little heads up would have been nicer.

Wonder how many we can get to buy this australian order

Honestly I'm not sure exactly that I'd want to add that much onto the cost vs wait for another group buy through iMav or if qtan restocks.
