Online retailer that sells the TVS Gold?
« on: Tue, 07 September 2010, 05:20:31 »
Quite intrigued by this board, $30 for a cherry blue mechanical keyboard sounds amazing! Does anyone know of any online retailers that'd ship one of these out from India?

I found some on ebay.in, but no cigar on the international sales bit :(

It's not exactly US$30.. but it's around there. I enquired about this board and it was around RM150+ or so (maybe my indian friend wasn't looking properly).. but it's definitely cheap for that price.

Someone did a quite detailed review back then (was it welly? :unsure) and you could try to dig that thread up to see why it was so cheap through the search function!

Gah! I'm actually thinking that these will be wonderful as that cheap mechanical keyboard that you can bring to work and stuff.

Cherry Blue keyswitches too, hmm!

I know some folks that live and/or have family in India. I'll inquire and let y'all know.

Yes, cool.  I know a guy who MIGHT be going over there on business.  Just don't know how much time he'd have to go shopping.  Probably none, but I could ask.  It would help if someone could suggest where these can be bought.

If I was able to get a couple (at least to start) would anyone be interested in doing a full review? (Build quality, switches, keycaps, etc.)

I'm tempted to say yes to get my mits on one but can see myself putting it off, and off, and off, ;-)

My friend is going to India in December and he is going to check them out and bring a couple back for me. I'd be willing to sell at least one to someone who is willing to do a full review. Will update y'all when I know more.

My friend is willing to bring some back from his India trip in December. How many interested parties do we have here? (And what are your locations)? You can PM me if you don't want to share your interest in this thread.

How much does a 103/104 set of switches typically cost? Could it have to do with the currency conversion?
