So, I've recently moved and I'm currently residing in Taiwan at the moment.
As, I'm still relatively new here and still adjusting, I'm not familiar with all the best places to purchase electronics in this area. I know pchome is a big online vendor that is popular here in Taiwan, but sadly they don't sell HHKB - though I do see a lot of ducky and pok3r.
Does anyone know where I can buy HHKB Pro 2 in Taiwan, or perhaps any other reputable vendors in Japan besides the Japanese Amazon store? (trying to see if I can find a place that sells it cheaper than amazon.)
Thanks in advance,
therue

Try eBay? I got 2 of mine from there and got no issues whatsoever.
Shipping is EMS from Japan so it'll get to you fast.

I just bought my hhkb-s from mechanicalkeyboards.co.id and it was amazing! I even got a red packet from them lol. Thanks Hendy :)

they are out of the white/normal one at the moment :(
it's also not any cheaper than jp amazon though T_T

HHKB is a quality keyboard and for new ones they are around that price range. You should expect to pay for a quality keyboard :thumb:

nah bro you could just browse the classified or just pay someone to proxy it to you. Tenso is recommended I hear
-
just a quick question about using proxy for purchasing items from japan.
what's the cost that's actually being eliminated with this buying process? the import tax, custom fee?
what's the difference between having amazon shipping the item to me vs tenso shipping it to me?

If you pm evo_spec he would just charge you for
Item price + shipping + proxy price which is around 1750 yen IIRC
and you can ask him to declare the item to be 50$ value so you don't get any tax

ah i see.
actually I just realized taobao has a large selection of these keyboards and my brother is actually working in shanghai at the moment, so i'll just ask him to purchase one for me and pay him back when he comes visits next week. :D

if it for some reason doesn't work out with your brother then i would recommend contacting Evo_Spec about this.
he helped me proxy a HHKB and it saved me a big bag of money :-) went very smoothly.
