Title: mechanicalkeyboards.com for canada?
Post by: Shouner on Mon, 09 September 2013, 22:53:27

Hello everyone,

For the American there is a website specialized in selling mechanical keyboards https://mechanicalkeyboards.com (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com). Does it exist a specialized site like this one for Canadian? If not, what is the best web site to shop keyboards?

Thanks in advance

I think the best we have is ncix.com for Canada. Otherwise, nothing really dedicated to keyboards.

+1 for NCIX.  Also, if you live in a major city, there are Canada Computers stores that have a decent selection, also lets you try before you buy.

Yeah ncix.ca and Canada Computers is what I'd shoot for.  I've ordered stuff from mechanicalkeyboards.com before too it just takes 2 weeks to arrive.

Canada Computers usually have a lot of stuff on shelf for you to try it out.

NCIX:

Filco
Ducky
Das Keyboard
Max Keyboard
Topre
Logitech
Razer
CM Storm
SteelSeries
Thermaltake
Mionix

lol those 2 stores pretty much covers everything though.  The only brands that I can think of that's missing are Leopold, Vortex and HHKB.

Otherwise you can pretty much buy everything that's out there.

I'm really sad there are no 55g RF tkl there.

You have options, at least.  In Australia there was one excellent keyboards only vendor in QLD - he disappeared a long time ago.  Another started up in Sydney, but prices are somewhat inflated.  Other than that we have a few computer stores that sell a random assortment of mechanical boards, with stock levels and model availability fluctuating wildly.

Usually it is easier ands often cheaper to simply buy from, say, qtan and ship from China.
