Hi guys!
I'm new here and not very sure if this is the right place to post, but would like to check with you guys if there's any mechanical keyboard stuff or computer hardware worth getting when I make my trip to Taiwan?
I've read around and saw that Ducky is made there and I presume that it would cost cheaper in their digital plaza, Guang Hua. Would appreciate any experience inputs and advices!

Duckys are like $68 in some stores in Taipei

Awesome! Any stores/plaza (like theres a Ducky wholesale) to recommend around or just walking around the digital plaza would be enough?

Well I went into like 3 stores it was usually $75-88 for a Ducky, but the one on sale was $68 (reds I think). Digital plaza is nice :). You can also look for a Filco honestly, Filcos just feel so much better

Yea Filco would be on the top of my list above Ducky but from what I gathered since Ducky is made there it should be much cheaper? Not too sure on Filco though... Is it cheaper there too?
Thanks for the help!!
*EDIT: Just checked there's both Made in Japan and Made in Taiwan for Filco? Is it a lot cheaper there too?

I think maybe $110 or 120 after conversion.. I think Taiwan is really close but its definitely cheaper there then buying from the UK (not many USA retailers even carry)
