Try spotting on old offices/companies or maybe govt agencies. Try also schools.

Good Luck paps!

I haven't really tried hard but I did check the thrift shops along Evangelista St. in Makati and only found boxes and boxes of rubber domes. They usually have new things come in on Tuesdays but I've noticed its mostly housewares.

Places that I still have to check (but have procrastinated enough not to have visited):
- Save On Surplus (SOS) along Pioneer in Ortigas
- SOS in Sucat
- random junk shops that I see on the side of the road

Does Australia have cheaper shipping to the Philippines? I am sure some might be on Australia Ebay.

Sorry here in Australia there won't be any specific dialect keyboards selling which will only happen on Ebay. Plus most if not all will be US ANSI native like most sold around the world.

If there is a Philippines Ebay then that's the place to set up camp on because when a very specific keyboard goes on sale, it usually disappears quickly due to it's rarity. Good luck in finding one :thumb: .
