Where to buy a HHKB Pro in Shanghai?
« on: Thu, 22 September 2011, 11:02:49 »
Hey all! I'm back...and this time I need help finding keyboards in Shanghai! I've checked out one place on the world-wide shopping wiki but they didn't have any HHKBs, so I'm coming to the boards for help. Does anyone possible know of a place I can find HHKB? I would love to have one for work - the bluetooth HP keyboard and mouse are killing me!

Also - anyone in Shanghai feel like meeting up and talking about keyboards?!

You have the whole taobao network within your reach!  http://search8.taobao.com/search?q=hhkb

From this taobao search, you can find quick a few shops are in Shanghai.  Maybe you can get to their retail shops.  Report back!

Thanks! Are some of those local shops? I was hoping to play with it before I made my purchase.

The query I have above fetches shops in Shanghai with HHKB pro.  I looked at a few of the listings and they don't seem to list addresses.  I bet there are multiple shopping centers in Shanghai with tons of computer shops.  I have never been to Shanghai so I can't help you there.  You should ask a few locals where you can find these computer shopping centers.  There should be a few shops in each shopping centers that carry HHKB.  

Hum, this one even have those sold-out Realforce color keycap sets.  http://gamegear.taobao.com/

They have a bad habit of listing stuff which are out of stock, better check with sellers or the recent bought list to make sure that they are still in stock.

For the TS, apparently this stretch of road is full of 3C shopping complexes (3C is their term for IT stuff including cameras, computers, IT and music stuff basically gadgets). Try asking the locals about how to get to this area and I think you should be set.
