Title: PChome (Taiwan) - $20 Worldwide Shipping Promo
Post by: MissileMike on Fri, 19 November 2010, 13:14:30
Yep I ordered a ducky tenkeyless with blue switches.  Will report back on how long it takes to get here and the quality of the actual board.  112$ shipped.

According to the site, it weighs 20g more than the equivalent filco.

Are you sure?  I know the fullsize ducky keyboards weigh less.  Never seen the specs for the tenkeyless, though.  But yes, it's probable/possible the reseller is wrong.

Mmmm...I want a ducky...more than a filco, actually. Dunno, something about the name works better for me.

Now if I could get a roast duck shipped for only $20 that was still good when it got here? Score.

i just found the promo that if you purchase any filco keyboard except 22 num pads, it will come with some free keycaps and the puller on the white and blue filco mx brown page.

http://world.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50476138&SR_NO=DCAH1Z&ROWNO=4&tm=u#

but i did not find this promo on tenkeyless brown's page. i am not sure if the free gift comes with the tenkeyless. but you guys could take a try.

i just hate myself why i ordered filco 104 from ek. my first choice is the tenkeyless and it is oos in ek, so i just ordered 104keys last week. i am wondering if i could refuse the pack from elitekeyboard and they will refund me or not....

If you refuse the package from UPS and it gets returned they have to refund you. You used a credit card right?

Anway, I saw that promo as well but like you said it was only for the blues. I placed an order at the armygroup site which ends up being about $20 more expensive but it comes with free keycaps. We'll see which site is faster.

There are some issues with the case quality, but it doesn't effect the function of the keyboard. For further detail check out the review thread.

ek sends the pack with fedex. and i used paypal.

what i saw is it says the promo is for every model of filco. i suppose the promo is available for tenkeyless, but i did not see this on tenkeyless page...that is weird to me...

The Chinese does say "any FILCO mechanical keyboard series", but it is not explicitly added in the cart. You should get both wrist rest AND the keycaps + key puller.

it translates to
   This product comes standard with + gifts   
         Other gifts:
 ■ aibo MINI silica gel wrist pad (in Taiwan)

So for those curious the filco tenkeyless browns does not come with a free cap puller and keys but rather the wrist rest. If you're gunhole on getting them keys head over to armygroup. :)

No problem. One more thing, the promotion page seems to cover all FILCO keyboards, even the tenkeyless versions. The promotion named "FILCO New Store Gift" link.

Plus the one from Taiwan includes extra keys and keycap pullers, all for ~$135 shipped, pay with PayPal? Is this all correct? [strike]If so, I might go for it given the absolutely horrible service from EliteKeyboards I've received.[/strike]

Edit: Brian from EK got in touch with me to rectify this. Looks like I'm canceling my order from Taiwan!

Great, thanks for the help. So I'd get the exactly same keyboard as the one at elitekeyboards for $20 less. I assume this includes the ps/2 adapter and red escape key, same as at Elite Keyboards.

If I want the puller and the extra keycaps, I'd have to go Chinese version.

Not to push my luck (you've already been very helpful), but do you have any idea about whether I'm taking a gamble in terms of warranty? What if it's DOA, or what if it breaks in a month? It's not likely, but is there anywhere in the US that will service these if there's an issue?

That's what it says. They probably result in a negative margin if they gave freebees on the cheaper items.

Mmm...that Ducky 1087 looks absolutely delicious! I might have to jump on it. Too bad they don't have the black on black available for it. Has anyone found a section that sells keycaps? Also, I noticed they are selling the ThermalTake Meka, looks pretty interesting.

I read someone asked about the Ducky quality/construction issue. From what I know, one issue is that the cherry stems they use can come in different shades. For example, there is a thread showing a Ducky with blue cherries, and the stems are mixed, both light and slightly darker blue cherries. The person mentioned that the board did not feel consistent due to this.

Hmmm. The tenkeyless versions of the filco brown and blue do not have chinese text on the keycaps am I correct? Or is that just a different picture. Cause 117 CAD + 20 dollar shipping is pretty good compared to the 130+30 shipping from EK. Risky but worth it if it works.

PC home has a very good reputation for service and returns in Taiwan.  They add a 30 day no question full refund on everything.  But international may put some difficulties there.  PC home is a fully established and real company, much like egg or ncix and much better than ebay.  I am glad that my suggestion about attracting overseas customer seems to have worked so well for you guys.

If it says English (use google translate or chrome to translate the page), not Chinese, then it will only have the English keys.

BTW I pulled the trigger on a Filco Brown 104-key NKRO. XD  Hope it gets here in good shape!

Greetings and salutations.

Just an FYI for Ripster, your Tenkeyless Brown Cherry link in the OP is directed to the Cherry Blacks, not browns. Nearly bought one on impulse having heard there were shortages.

Additionally, there was speak of armygroup a few pages back. Any insight into shipping charges? I see nothing about cheap shipping promotions a la PChome.

Was the Custom Form filled with the actual cost of purchased or did they do a mark-down ?


I believe if they wish to be competitive, they can easily keep the shipping cost as present, the product is probably slightly marked-up with this intent, as the cost of product on Taobao is slightly cheaper.

I ordered yesterday with Paypal too, using their instant bank transfer instead of the credit card (since supposedly some people had to verify with that method).  

I THINK mine is shipped?  Google translate says that it's last updated location is PChome Warehouse with Status shipping.  The Post # (tracking #?) they give me is something like EE_______TW.  Is that yours too, laden?  I thought the USPS shipping numbers were different.  

Maybe it's just not in the system yet I guess, but it seems like PChome is pretty fast about sending out orders in case some of you were still on the fence.

I had a picture (bitmap) of Chinese symbols, and I assumed I was supposed to type in the numeric equivalent (using numerals 0 - 9), which I did, but no matter how many times I tried, it was rejected.  If you were shown a picture of regular numerals, then for some reason I'm getting a different security screen than you.

I have to note that Army group is truly awesome shop as this is the second time they marked my shipment as "sample" and it passed the customs without need to pay for the taxes.

I went through most of the placing an order bit, but the shipping was coming out to around $40 USD. Perhaps because I can't find an option for the zipcode?

Looking at getting a Tenkeyless Filco with Blues from PChome at the moment, though also having a little trouble making an account with them. Maybe I am just bad at using Google Chrome, who knows.

If you are getting characters, you likely need to type in the actual characters, rather than the arabic numerals. The easiest way to do that, if you are in windows (without an IME), is to look them up on wikipedia or some such, and copy paste them in. If you're on a mac, you can just switch on the pinyin keyboard, and use

1. yi
2. er
3. san
4. si
5. wu
6. liu
7. qi
8. ba
9. jiu
10. shi

and then just match up the character you want.

The package from PChome was marked as "merchandise", probably better if someone can tell them to mark it as a gift in order to avoid the custom duty. They even mentioned the price of the keyboard on the receipt glued to the package, so, it is either no custom duties for keyboards or Americans are just lazy to convert TWD to USD.

I don't think they'll release a 'new' model to fix a minor production issue. The ducky 1087 is already new and just came out.

An all white ducky is already out and I'll have one in my hands next week!

I don't think they'll release a 'new' model to fix a minor production issue. The ducky 1087 is already new and just came out.

An all white ducky is already out and I'll have one in my hands next week!

You're right, no Chinatown can be called Chinatown without fortune cookies or flying rats for dinner.

Guys --

Not to worry. I just came back from Chinatown on the assumption that I could in fact buy the keyboard there. I did not come back empty handed!

(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3417/wingshuimenu.jpg)

I asked the owner, and apparently many of the restaurants in Chinatown stock this item. Many do not have it on the menu, but I was told that you could ask for it by name and they would know what you are talking about.

They will send you your order confirmation email. Then you just log into the site and check out the shipping details which will contain a usps tracking number ending in "TW".

Just got my filco tenkeyless with browns while eating lunch at home (typing on them right now). The keys feel VERY different, like nothing I've ever felt. Definitely need to get use to them.

My shipping box arrived with dents like some kids had played soccer with it. But the actual keyboard was intact and fully functional. Further more I thought I only was receiving the wrist rest, but to my surprise they threw in the keycaps and key puller!

PCHOME did well!

Just tried to order a Cherry Brown Ducky 1087. But it seems they're out of stock =X. I can't choose the amount I want to purchase, it's blank. It works for the Filco tenkeyless though.

I like the option of disabling/enabling certain key's on the Ducky's via their fn keycombo's. I'll wait to see if it gets restocked.


Edit - Hmmm..now I'm consdering getting the Filco brown after seeing Kidchunks post. /sigh @ indecisions!

However I when I try and login it says I need a 2-16 long account number..

The payment apparently has gone through.. so I'm not really sure what's going on there.

The bubble wrap didn't do much, I found the keyboard box completely uncovered by the time it reached my home.

Hope this helps those who are curious :biggrin:. Maybe this might change some peoples mind about ordering from pchome. Not sure if its my postman or the travel before reaching US customs was the cause for the look of the box lol.

Chrome's translate page feature could have saved you!

I really wanted a ducky, I couldn't tell you the difference between a ducky and a filco, I just really liked the name. But it seemed impossible to get here. But now it seems more than possible, after I bought a keyboard. And I just bought a new monitor. I can't justify buying a ducky :( sucky :(

And Ripster, no worries, I am going to end up having a blue, brown, and black to choose from, I will sell off the ones I don't want.

I just got my Ducky 1087. That was fast. I ordered it on Friday, and I received it here in San Francisco Bay Area today (Wednesday.)

First impressions: I'm kinda disappointed. I already have a Filco with blue switches, and I'm not really digging the Browns on this Ducky. The build quality on the Filcos is also noticeably better. I don't know how to explain it. I know they are both made by the same manufacturer, but the Filcos don't feel like they were made in Taiwan, while the Ducky definitely feels like a "Made in China" keyboard, if that makes any sense. The different feel of the Browns is probably the main reason. Noise is not an issue, so I think I'll stick with my Blues.

I'll prob put the Ducky up for sale on eBay for what I paid for it. Or give it to someone as a gift for Christmas.

ok how about some objective arguments now?

I'll have a ducky brown in my hands in the next few days and I'll compare it to my filco super blue otaku type R. From what I hear the duckys in the past were superior in every way (except maybe the chingrish).

Must have been reading wrong reviews. Build quality is definitely worse and you can tell that already by just looking at the pictures. The one WhiteRice got literally fell apart after two days.

I can answer these two for you.

Tea-axis is supposed to be MX Brown according to the wiki.
Quote
Brown: soft tactile (ergonomic), Actuation Force 45cN, MX1A-G. Some asian websites refer to this as the "Tea Axis" Cherry switch.

When you decide to order, you will get a page where the stock is shown for each of the items in your shopping basket. This page will appear before you have to actually order, but I don't remember the exact point when this page appeared.

I did not get charged anything on delivery by Canada Post today.  The filco keyboard had in the box a USB to PS2 adapter, puple WASD keys, a key puller and a red escape key along with another red key.  A wrist rest pad was also in the box as promised when I ordered (original link for black cherry by OP)

As an aside, I ordered from elitekeyboards on Nov 17 and pchome on Nov 22 and pchome won the race.  My elitekeyboards order just left LA yesterday with no ETA.

To put it in perspective my Think Geek order arrived the very next day after ordering.  Shame on you elitekeyboards!

Okay, got the ducky 1087 with blues- the same one Whiterice has.  It is definitely not as heavy as the filco, nor as well-built.  If you have the extra 30$ or so, I would recommend getting a filco over ducky any day.

Postage was NT$ 1650...  yikes, that's 54$ USD.....  So no way are these deals going to last.

yah americans really only know how to send packages to themselves. I just get all my packages sent to a place nearby the border and then make a trip to get my junk! Save some bloated shipping costs which covers the fuel costs and then some. Plus some of our amerifriends won't even ship to canada, usually because we're too far away.

Canada is the United State's largest export trading partner with 19.37% of exports  going north and 14.24% of imports, second only to China, according to the CIA World Factbook.  Perhaps the number is just inflated because of unrealistic shipping costs to us Canadians?

Sweet, got my keyboards from PCHome. They came in a huge cardboard box with the PCHome logo on it and the inside was filled with bubble wraps. The keyboard boxes came in pristine condition with no dents at all. Both of the keyboards are extremely solid and I can not see any faults with the naked eyes. Mine 1008 Chinese came with the lavender wasd keys and two red esc keys (one says Ducky while the other has the ducky logo on it). I also got a free mouse pad that acts as an USB hub with each of keyboards I purchased. The only thing I am feeling iffy about right now is how all the large keys feel different. All the keys make a different sound when you press them and the large enter key just feels so much harder to press than the regular keys. Overall, I am fairly happy with this purchase and I learned the blues are indeed loud and the browns are sadly unsatisfying.

That's highly unusual.  It's like they were saving the effort of dumping a stabilizer in to keep the number of PCB revs down.

wow.

Tea-axis is supposed to be MX Brown according to the wiki.

So I see a 'Filco tenkeyless "tea-axis" boards.  Don't see any blues near as I can tell.  I also see:

FILCO Majestouch Tenkeyless mechanical keyboard green shaft English
◆ CHERRY MX c
◆ USB&PS/2
◆87key Majestouch
◆ Green by CHERRY MX c axis by two-stage bearing
◆ USB & PS / 2 Majestouch design

Cherry greens are like blues but use a higher force spring?

dood i thought this would be totally weird at first until i had a taste of browns and blacks. Me thinks they suit each other pretty well and a board like this would suit nerd bombs that play a lot of games and pretend to type a lot. The low tactility of the browns would make transitioning to blacks on the left side quite easy.

Actually, after using a ducky all weekend, it's really not bad at all.  It has a detachable cable, capslock etc leds in the key, and a numlock function.

On the con side, it's lighter than a filco, and not as well-built....

I just received my Ducky DK-9008 with black on black keys (english), Cherry MX brown, from PCHome today.

Ordered it last week, arrived within 7 days to New Zealand and reasonably well packaged. Pretty stoked actually!

Keyboard is reasonably nice - quality of the mini-USB cable is a bit lower than what I would have expected but the actual board feels nice and solid, and the keys themselves have a good action and work nicely.

I'm now considering ordering a Filco from them with MX blues to compare... the browns are a bit noisier than I'd expected, mainly because I can't seem to stop bottoming out the keys.

I will also say that the black switches used on the spacebar and enter key are proving a little annoying - I've mainly got used to them now, but I did miss spaces or accidentally doublespace for a wee while the first few hours I used it (and occasionally still, but improving).

I'm not so sure I would have such a good experience had I had to deal with their customer service team, but luckily I have a few Taiwanese friends just in case :)

picked up my ducky 9000 w/ browns today. packing was adequate. it says they paid 2040NT for shipping ($67?) to california. feels lighter than the das. came with key puller, ps/2 adapter, orange wasd keys, black ducky wrist rest pad, and a sondata magicpad (which i haven't opened but looks like a mouse pad that lights up and has a usb2.0 hub). this is my first mechanical keyboard, aside from trying my friend's das blues.

i checked space and enter keys and they are brown. typing on it is as quiet as i had hoped for (blues are way too annoying), and the build quality seems fine. mini usb cord is shorter than the usual length (says 1500mm. i'll need to buy a longer cord). has FN hotkeys for adjusting sound/music, win lock, swapping ctrl/caps keys, and swapping win/alt keys.

overall i am happy with my purchase :high5:

I decided that I am going to wait for a few more impartial reviews. Does anyone know how much longer PChome will be offering $20 shipping? If it lasts until the end of December I may just pick up 4 or 5 keyboards. I would be saving some serious dough doing that.

Wait, what do I need 5 more keyboards for?
No, not even going to think about that. Thinking is bad.


That's exactly the way I thi... wait what? Oh yeah. The more the merrier right?

It really is a disease, brought on by spending time here at GeekHack.

Some of my friends now call me the "keyboard guy" and my gaming group claims I "vomit" keyboards.

Also, I found where the tracking info was placed on PChome. They kind of hide it in the details (Well, feels hidden since I don't know Chinese) but I've got it sorted. I apparently thought it was a different day that I ordered it, Sunday felt like it was a long time ago. I want my Filco now

I figured it out.  I only have a choice few now, and don't plan on buying anymore until something unique or special comes out.  I just rotate every once in awhile.

Returns? The way I see it, keyboards are not a viable investment like baseball cards or anime figurines. Instead, they're luxury goods like pewter dragons and dragon shirts and tattoos.

Yeah, this place definitely gives you "keyboard hunger".  
In the last month I have bought 3 keyboards. Ridiculous.
I have trouble spending $3.50 on a pack of cookies at the grocery store, and yet i don't even flinch at spending $150 on a keyboard.
My close friends can't get me to smoke weed, but a group of strangers on a forum have convinced me to drop $300+ on plastic keys. Something's wrong here. haha

Cherry Blues can be fairly magical then.

But we are digressing from the topic.

I know PChome has WASD keys and such, has anyone dug around enough to see if they sell full keysets for Filcos? Could be an nice alternative to ArmyGroups $40 USD shipping on Filco Blanks at the moment.

Nope, so far I was only able to find armygroup. Hopefully in the new year they would have some new products up including keysets.

$40? They raised it? I paid $20

I may have misread, or a keyboard might have been included in what I saw.

Not sure. What I have concluded is PChome seems to be more consistent with its shipping costs, while Army Group is a bit less so.

Would like to see sets of Filco blank keys going for under $40 shipped eventually. Would be nice.

*face palm* you called a $130 keyboard low-priced? A well-built mechanical keyboard should cost less than $100. You can't just presume the quality of a keyboard based on the price. Filco (good example of overpriced keyboard in North America) is never that expensive in East Asia and it is ridiculous to buy a well-built keyboard with ABS keycaps for $160++.

If Filco is overpriced in North America, wait till u see the prices of Filco in Singapore.
Filco w/ Red-ESC & Lavender WASD here cost USD$175.
Steelseries 6Gv2 alone here cost USD$155.
Razer Deathadder here cost USD$70

Everything here is expensive expect Food.
Alot of greedy local distributors mark up products by more than 50% above MSRP.
We face ridiculous mark ups but the average annual salary is USD$18,000 after Tax.

MO conducted here in Singapore allows us to get Duckys at a reasonable USD$110 upwards depending of model/keycaps.

Side Note : The government here tax 110% on all vehicle imports and charge another USD$30,000 for Certifiable of Entitlement which require you to renew every 10year (another USD$30,000)

I just registered to say thank you for making this thread. I'd been trying to get my hands on a ducky keyboard for a while.

Yesterday, the two duckies I ordered last week from PChome arrived :)
They are both "black-on-black" keyed DK-9008 boards, one with black switches and one with brown switches. They each came with a spare set of "black-on-black" keys and a couple of strange USB hub/mousemat devices were also thrown in for free.

Interestingly, the black switched board came in a fake velvet pouch and had some orange replacement WASD keys, while the tea-axis board didn't have the bag and the bundled WASD keys are grey. No red escape keys, sadly.

By the way, in case anyone else was having trouble, the answer to the registration question isn't DIN!

Okay, I just picked my package from customs. Had to pay 24€taxes.

Here's a picture showing that the package was actually a little damaged. Thankfully everything inside was okay. Simple reason for this in my case was simply too big of a box for just one keyboard.

(http://tux.fi/~kumis/Package.JPG)

And here are a few pictures of the ducky set up next to my Das.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase, but I'm not too sure about how I like these brown switches yet. I'm gonna have to give it a good burn in at work to determine my opinion about the browns.


Oh almost forgot. The postage was marked at 2020TWD on the box, so I quess about the same as shipping to the US.

I ordered 2 last Friday, and just received them today(Wednesday) morning.  The outer packaging was a bit beat up, but inside, other than a slightly crumpled corner on one of they keyboard boxes, everything was fine.   Amazingly quick shipping for $20, for 2 keyboards.

The 2 I ordered, were:
1. A 108 key mixed-axis/PBT, with english+chinese keycapse.  Mixed-axis refers to it having 3 different cherry key types, brown for letters, blue for keypad, black for most of the rest.  The different key types sounded interesting, and I figured I could mod it later if I hated it.  I've been using it about 10 minutes, and so far I like it.  It's hooked up to a KVM switch via PS/2 and n-key rollover seems to be working just fine, can hold down 15+ keys and they all register on the Optimus Maximus keyboard demo.

The letters on this one appear to be printed somehow, though there's a slight relief, so they might be laser etched/filled.  Hope the printing and coating lasts longer than the Filcos.

Extras in the box with this one were a simple plastic key puller, 3 purple WASD keys(I use ASDX.. so no help there), and 2 red keys, one says Ducky, the other has the Ducky logo on it.

2. A brown(tea) axis DK-9008, english only.  It's definately laser etched/filled, very similar to the Cherry 3494.   I haven't used it yet.  I expect it'll be pretty similar to the Filco brown, which has been great.

The extras included with this one, were a simple plastic key puller, and off-white WASD keys.


They threw in 2 funky mouse pads with USB ports, that I doubt I'll be using.  And a leather ducky keyboard wrist rest, which seems a tad hard at first touch, but I may try it later.


Thanks for the heads up on this, I'd wanted a Ducky since I heard about them.


Here's what the box looked like when it arrived:

I'm thinking the packaging gets better if you buy more than one or two keyboards at a time.

I'm now debating myself if I should buy another ducky 1087 with mx blues since I obviously love them a lot more than browns. Good thing they're out of stock right now.

I know this is a PChome thread, but I was wandering if someone could offer some advice on the Armygroup form filling process,

I'm being asked if I want "Do not packing" or "Exquisite packaging of goods" translated from chinese to English, does the do not packing option literally mean no packaging at all, or just the standard wrapped bubble rap? Because the other option is another $50.

I think they mean to ask you if you want your products wrapped in gift paper. Could someone confirm this?

I was just looking through pchome and noticed they don't have any mx blue tenkeyless keyboards in stock. I've already decided I'd get one but haven't decided between the Filco and the Ducky yet. I quess I'll pull the trigger on the one that comes to stock first.

That board is also a DK-9008, but the keycaps are cool looking black-on-black style. They also throw in a spare set of black-on-black keycaps. It's also the cheapest of the 9008 options, at only NT$3390, thanks to some special sale. That is the type I just bought.

The other DK-9008 options are normal (white on black keys) but with a wrist rest for NT$3790:

http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAD80-A45366235&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=23&tm=u (http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAD80-A45366235&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=23&tm=u)

or with PBT keys for NT$4090:

http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50302994&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=21&tm=u (http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50302994&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=21&tm=u)

As far as I can tell, the only option for an English PBT keyed 9008 is the version with mixed switches.

I dunno for sure but it seems like less than a week to North America.

EMS is FAST and EFFICIENT.

All  they need to do now is hire some English translators.


My thoughts exactly, google chrome Translate worked fluidly but they could expand their market if they incorporated an english translated site.

Anyone know what's the product page for the tenkeyless size wrist wrest, if there is one at PChome? I think I only found one leather wrist wrest and ordered that one, but it was the full size one. Then I saw a tenkeyless size that Panda-R posted and started thinking if one could be bought from PChome. Like this:

So my Tenkeyless Filco with Blues showed up. Came with a Card Reader of some sort, Lavender WASD keys, Red Filco and Esc keys, and a puller. Was really hoping to get Yellow WASD keys.

Anyone up to sell me their yellow WASD for the cheap? :p

Everything looks fairly good, I'm in a bit of a hurry so no pics. Box was in all right shaped (some crushing on the outside) but there was enough packing material that the Filco box was unharmed.

Also, ordered Saturday night, arrived Friday. Pretty damn fast shipping overseas. Will probably get a Ducky ordered up soon now as well.

I also ordered (not related at all) a new headset on ebay on nov 28 (date item was paid for) shipped on nov 29.  And it is still in focking NJ and not expected to get here until dec 6. LOL

Got my Filco with browns delivered today.  Box was in so-so condition but the keyboard box was in perfect condition.  Looks like I went to the store and picked it up myself.  It came with the extra key caps (yellow wasd, red and filco esc key), key puller, and some sort of usb multi sd card reader.  

I am both happy with my purchase and happy with the service PCHome was able to provide.

Same thing happened to me and I finally gave up.  Maybe I'll try again sometime later.  I'm not sure why everyone else except you and I seem to get normal numerals.  Two possibilities I can think of though:

1) I'm located in Asia, so perhaps they default the Chinese characters to IP addresses coming from Asia.

2) My OS (Windows 7, 64-bit) is not an English version, though I've set English as the primary language on it.  Furthermore, I've loaded/enabled all the East Asian languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean).

I do have a computer with full-English Windows XP, and no East Asian languages enabled, so I might try that, but it isn't connected to the internet and doing so might be a bit of a hassle.  If you're able to track down what's causing this, please post the result, and likewise I will if I can figure it out.

That's the only email I got from PChome. You can check your order from the PChome website from your account management page (or something like that). There you can see a history of all your orders and see exactly what your order has in the package, including those free extra awesome glowing USB hub mousemats.

Same thing happened to me and I finally gave up.  Maybe I'll try again sometime later.  I'm not sure why everyone else except you and I seem to get normal numerals.  Two possibilities I can think of though:

1) I'm located in Asia, so perhaps they default the Chinese characters to IP addresses coming from Asia.

2) My OS (Windows 7, 64-bit) is not an English version, though I've set English as the primary language on it.  Furthermore, I've loaded/enabled all the East Asian languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean).

I do have a computer with full-English Windows XP, and no East Asian languages enabled, so I might try that, but it isn't connected to the internet and doing so might be a bit of a hassle.  If you're able to track down what's causing this, please post the result, and likewise I will if I can figure it out.



Hi ,have you change the "character encoding" under "view" of you browser?
If not, try to switch it to "BIG5 (Traditional Chinese)", then the pages should be shown and you shall be able to translate them by Google translator.

Hope this will be helpful

Question on the Blue Filco - Is the whole body blue or just the front? Curious because if the back is also Blue, I might just buy one.


Why would it matter what color the back of the keyboard is? Just curious.

I think that person is one of those 'normal' people that type with their keyboards facing down, so it would be nice to see a blue back cover while typing facing down.

That's the only email I got from PChome. You can check your order from the PChome website from your account management page (or something like that). There you can see a history of all your orders and see exactly what your order has in the package, including those free extra awesome glowing USB hub mousemats.


How do I get the "account management" page?

Go to "Customer Service" (The link can be found on top of the page), then go to "Check orders and Q&A" from the left, and then log in.

Or you could use this link (https://ecvip.pchome.com.tw/?0xa238d1ffa632e2ef7c610a87022adbad63d19a20ea6eaf672ad31ffc7d5a7a39f4abc45737f13705), if it works.

Found it, thanks.  Has anyone tried to change their order as of yet?  I already bought two, but wanted to buy two more and combine shipping, any way?  Little cumbersome with all the foreign language (I'm Chinese, too).

ah it's not that, i jus thought i wasn't able to get the filco tenkeyless from anywhere since elitekeyboards doesn't have them in stock and the pchome seemed to have soldout a long time ago.. so i settled for the ducky

but now that i found a place that sells them in armygroup i rather go that route

especially cuz i just read a few minutes ago the reviews on the ducky 1087 that i ordered and some nitpicky stuff that i'm not too happy about .. loose parts and such =T

edit: this is my first mechanical keyboard and don't exactly have a lot of funds on me so i want my purchase to be perfect =T

1) click customer services at the top of the page.

2) then look for the "Unsubscribe / refund query" tab and click it. If you aren't logged in it will bring you to the log in screen. Put in your credentials and you should see your order with some options.

The build quality issues are over exaggerated. The only thing I could complain about mine is the plastic above the detachable cable. And that's so minor I can justify it for the cheaper price and good features.

Also after taxes and shipping the Filco from Armygroup will be a lot more expensive than a Ducky from PChome.

They don't do paypal transactions. Also I think that is for local purchases only. global. is the one to use.

Just picked up my FKBN87M/CB today. Box was a bit beat up. However the Filco itself was in perfect condition, also got a free wrist rest included.

Cheers to Ripster and fssbzz for this thread :)

My ducky has slightly uneven feet.  The top right wobbles a bit.  I had to fold up an envelope in half to stabilize it.  Otherwise I am really happy with my purchase, and the feet are thick enough where I can either measure them up and even it out myself or apply thin coating of whatever substance I have an excess of to the right foot until it matches the others in height.  

Loving the ducky though.  Very impressed with the packaging and feel of the keyboard.  I really wish they had a way to disable the context key like they do the windows key.  That would have made my day, but you can't have everything I guess.

Edit: Box was only beat up on the side with the free USB hub.  It took around 4 days to get here after placing the order.  East coast US.

Concerning the cherry red.

Is it possible to buy keycaps for my layout (swedish with umlauts åäö)?

I also wonder if i can use to easily make this a keyboard with swedish layout? (I Havent really tried it.) Basically is it possible to use the profile from an existing keyboard and use it with this cherry red kb? I understand of course there will be a difference with the no of keys etc, but the basic layout should be the same. As far as I can tell from a rather quick look there is one extra key above the return on this compared to a swe.

When my Filco arrived, it had a touch of wobble. Me, being the impatient type, kind of twisted the whole board gently in my hands. Figured it was likely the plate being slightly off.

Either way, worked great and no wobble since.

Er, I don't even know how to check, but it's just one switch with two dummies underneath if that helps. I would prefer the standard IBM layout but hey, beggars can't be choosers. This *is* the cheapest Cherry Brown board out there, and unlike most other people (it seems), I'm quite happy with the build quality and everything else. I figure I will just get used to the layout with daily typing and gaming...

No, it's the principle...I hate when companies offer a 'special', only to make it a lower price not long after. It's like a "fake sale", a self-defeating marketing tactic.

They are also listing key caps separate now including blanks (but not black on black) which I think is new, but they are not yet on sale http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A53717984&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=27&tm=u

Just wanted to give praise where it's due- I just got my Ducky tenkeyless with blacks today, it arrived very quickly and it was packed great! Zero damage to the box or the keyboard. The wrist rest is nice, and the price for all of it shipped was oustanding.

I can highly recommend PChome if they have something you're interested in. As for the Ducky Keyboard- I've never felt a mechanical before, so I can't compare it's quality vs. anything else out there, but in my hands it feels great, I love the detachable USB cable, and the feel of the switches.

Thanks very much for the heads-up with this thread!

Limited Edition! Those who grab these will be lucky duckies! (Until they end up for sale in Classified after the Leopolds start shipping). Kidding!

I wouldn't mind the chinese with english if i knew how it worked. Since i'm gonna replace the keycaps anyways.


So how does it work ?

How do you flip between English and Chinese characters when typing ? Or can it only be used exclusively as one language via windows 7 OS setting whether US or chinese language ? but not both same time ?

Then he proceeded to look at the 9008 with mixed switches, sold out.
Finally the 9108 Tiger... you guessed it, sold out.

Ducky keyboards are selling out fast!

I was going to get a red Ducky wristrest and get free shipping with his order too, don't see that happening anymore. Darn.

Although, for some reason, the black wrist rest and the red wrist rest are differently sized.  The black one being longer (that's what she said).

Also did anyone that ordered the english keyboard get any free gifts with it?

Tossing up between PChome and armygroup at the moment, since the wristrest is like $70, and the ASWD keys are like $20 if i get it here in Australia.

Before I make an order I must get know what difference are between this two Ducky keyboards:
-Ducky DK-1008 Brown version 1 (http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50398104&SR_NO=DCAH0X&ROWNO=2&tm=u)

Apparently there is difference in price (5 bucks). Second thing is that chinese layout in version 1 comes with L shaped Enter key, and in version 2 there is small one. Are there any other things?
I want this keyboard with brown cherries with normal English layout (small enter), so do I have to choose version 2 or I can get ver1 which is cheaper?

Well the first one you linked is a cherry black and not a brown.

The second one is a brown, and has laser engraved printing on the keys.

Hope that helps.

from the description it looks like the more expensive one has laser-etched keycaps(and standard US layout with a small Enter as you mentioned), I think you should go with this.

Funny, I thought they have english keycaps for the Tenkeyless, or maybe you just want the special flavoured keycaps?
For shipping time, just read the pages in front, probably 7days for North America. It takes about a day for the paypal payment to clear on their side, and then another until the tracking number that they give can be tracked by Taiwanese EMS

They do - I'd just prefer some blank ones. And maybe some colored.

And appreciate the shipping time.

I hope it's okay if my first post on these boards is asking a question ;)

I'm curious as to how PCHome generally ships. I live in Canada and, if they ship via something like UPS or Fedex I'm going to get badly hurt with the crappy fees those companies charge...

I can deal with potential duty charges, but not brokerage fees. I did some searches in this topic but didn't find anything.

Going to probably buy a Filco with browns since I can't seem to find anywhere else that ships to Canada (besides ArmyGroup but they don't seem to have them in stock right now).

-Edit- Also, just to make absolutely sure I've got the right one:

http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50476493&SR_NO=DCAH23&ROWNO=5&tm=u

That is the correct Filco keyboard (full size) with MX Brown switches, correct? (For some reason Chrome kept dumping me to the local, not global, PCHome site after I did a search, so I have to manually find that keyboard and the page is different from their local listing)

Yes, that is a fullsize Filco with Browns (Tea axis). They ship using EMS which is pretty fast. It took 3-4 days to get to California when I ordered my keyboards.

They ship EMS, which means that if Canada Post charges you what they should (by law) you would pay $8 brokerage plus your local provincial and federal (or harmonized) taxes.  Many Canadians here have had their shipments arrive from overseas without being assessed any charges.  For once, I was included in this lucky group earlier this year.  I usually never get anything over $25 allowed through without charges ($19.99 is the threshold written in law).

So I went looking for a mouse and mike row phone today in the computer market.  Thought I would check if they still have the filco stuff.  They do, about a few of every mec board I could think of.  And.
And...

Reds!  Now I want a red.  Can anyone lend me $4000nt? (about $140us)  If you want one I can ship it to ya, for cost +5%.  Or if we can get 10 orders I will ship them for cost (as they will give me one free).  I have as yet no idea what the cost would be to ship to you, but Taiwan has reasonable shipping rates.


Bad cell phone pics, I hope work.

Taiwan uses a slightly different CC system.  Its not so tied to the banks.  It means, I am inferring, that they are waiting until the funds are transferred into their account before they ship.  You have to wait a bit longer.

Now I'm considering either going with ducky DK-1008, DK 9008G2 or maybe wait until they have Filco's (brown swich) available for overseas shipping again.
Only issue I have is I'm from New Zealand so every other site charges about as much for shipping as for the keyboard itself lol.
The $10usd shipping from this site is godly I must say.

Ohh does  anyone know much about the 2 Ducky boards, DK-1008 and DK 9008G2. I mean why does the DK9008G2 cost like $30 more then the DK-1008?

It tourned out that the status: Orders the estabilishment of means everything went fine and the package was send. I wonder why nobody could tell me that. Actually the package was send immediately day after the purchase, I've just missed the tracking number to my local postoffice.

Pchome seems very professional, labeling the package with its true value which makes passing customs fast, unfortunately you won't get away with paying VAT that way, which is 23% in my case if the package value is above 22 euros, well I guess thats how it is and it gotta be.

If it comes to the keyboard, the ducky 1087 with mx browns, it's very nice. I've switched from the blackwidow and even the quality seems a lot better. I'm not yet sure if I like browns more than blues.

Two things to note:
- nobody said the spacebar is gonna have cheery mx black switch underneath. I'm quite happy I could try linear switches that way, but could anybody tell me what's the resoning of putting mx black there? I don't think its quiter that way cause browns are not loud to begin with, it's heavier tho.
- the keyboard put on the desk was wobbling but it went away fast, I guess the rubber feets had to accomodate.

Anyway I'm very happy with the purchase, even though it wasn't that cheap I thought it will be. It's a big leap over the blackwidow I used.

Spacebar switches from Ducky is a mixed bag.
I've since spacebar switches matching the layout, or using heavier switches, like in your case.

The reason is probably you hit your spacebar harder with your thumb, so putting a heavier switch should probably even out the key weighting.

Use Chrome, it'll give you the option to translate, and after browsing for a while it'll ask you to always translate - you must be able to understand Chinglish though as it won't exactly sound correct, but just try and work out wtf it's trying to say, and roll with it.

And there isn't a Ducky 1087 with reds, but the CM Storm is pretty damn cheap anyway, so just get that.

Ducky 1087 with Cherry MX Red do exist and they cost about NT$2500 from inpad.com.tw. But that website has not simple click-and-pay method for international shipping. Their response via IM is slow and they only converse in Chinese I think. PCHOME do not sell them. You will be better off buying a Leopold with Reds imho.

I had to order the keyboard three times.  Finally the third time it went through and charged my account.  Hope it don't come back and bite me on the behind though.

Ah, ok, I'm dim.

I found the tracking number using the guide and its "awaiting customs clearance" as of the 1st. I don't know how long that's likely to take but whatever, at least I know it's on its way.

They don't need to pay any taxes as US imports everything from Asia.

How can I contact their support?
I'd like to place an order and it's >5kg. It's 5,2Kg by their calculator (but it's bull****, so the order is much less than 5kg, I'm sure).
I'd like to ask them to send me PayPal invoice with the correct shipping price.

Hello folks, I'm thinking of making a purchase on this site in the future, maybe a Ducky Shine with brown switches if they ever come back in stock. Just wondering though, has anyone ever ordered a keyboard and had it delivered to the UK? I'm guessing I'll have to pay customs because of the cost and origin- any idea on how much that would be?

Hi, for an estimate do this:

Cost + Shipping = Price

(Price * 0.2) (VAt @ 20%) + ~£13 Parcelforce "admin fee"

Have not personally received anything from pchome but that is a good way to work out an estimate of the real cost.

If the Price is > £114, - consider getting a Filco from the keyboardco.com.

man oh man, I'm starting to get a bit worried now. I ordered a Ducky shine on the 10th of january... been waiting ever since.

I have received 2 emails, an order confirmation and a delay-on-credit-card-verification mail (although I paid through Paypal).

The tracking information on postserv.post.gov.tw doesn't help much. It only shows: "Trading results: No such information, to identify and then do the query."  Is there another site where I can enter my trackid? (EExxxxxxxxxTW)

Also, the order status on pchome gives: "Orders the establishment of" which should be good thing according to someone else in this topic ;p
However, it's been more than two weeks now, I mean it can't be that hard to find The Netherlands on the map, can it?

I had been just watching my EMS tracking number on USPS.com. I hadn't looked at that link before...that's pretty cool. It even tells me what flight my keyboard is on from Taiwan to San Francisco...it should be landing state-side in about 45 minutes! Just for kicks, I set up a email and text flight alert on airportsfo.org so I know when it lands :)

hey all, I have been reading a lot on mechanical keyboards the last few days and I think its time to order one. I really like one with backlight so the Ducky DK9008S Shining seems really nice to start with. However there are 24 DK9008S on the pchome online shop and even though I tried the google translator, I cant figure out which one is which. I think I am closer to brown switches with a blue led backlight. Could someone maybe help me out with the pchome site?  Thanks :)

Have to get around to ordering one of these, too. $55 is worth the test drive!
