Well most I assume can't try before they buy.

I have no mech keyboard shops around me and even the best buy I work at doesn't carry the blackwidow


He lives in the tech capital of the world...he can try anything he wants, we aren't so lucky :p

@Ripster: you're thinking Cantonese. And I think the closest thing to homie would be 'tai lo ban' which just means big boss man.

I'm not very good at reading Chinese lips, it seems.

On a slightly related subject, I much prefer subtitles to dubbed movies!

Which store?  Any recommendations to add to the WW Shopping Wiki?


Many different stores, I recommend a walk around the Wan Chai computer centre, theres stores specializing in each and every brand/switch.

7 keyboards and no cherry black switches which are in my opinion definitely better for gaming, better get yourself back to the store :P

I think the HHKB Pro 2 may now be my favorite keyboard, half price would have made it even better.

I would describe them both to be tech nirvanas, but Hong Kong has a couple other areas like:
188 (Video games and......pr0n......)
298 (Computers)
Wanchai (Computers & KB's)
Mongkok (Computers & KB's)
Sham shui po (Computers & KB's)
