Mech Keyboards in Germany

[grinny]

Hey there!

I'm new to this community and mechanical keyboards so I was doing some research for my next purchase for some time.

Deciding on which switch type is a really pain without trying them, but I guess Mx Reds are very popular for gaming and for some typing too (with The Browns). So I guess it will be reds or browns!

And to the question; I live in Turkey and we have only Razer Blackwidow here. (It's sad, I know) But one of my friend is going to Germany this weekend so he said it'll be okay to bring me a mech keyboard with him! Hurray!

But I'm not sure which brands are sold in Germany too! Hah, so maybe some help from people in Germany about, which retail stores can my friend find them, since purchasing from internet is not an option. (Maybe Cherrys since they are German company?)

Ah and ofcourse which model from the brand to buy if I want Reds or Browns?

Thanks in advance, cheers!

But they only have Microsoft boards on their site.

Well, I live in Austria, but Market-wise it's rather the same.

Unfortunately it's not really better here. Big Electronic stores, such as Saturn, Mediamarkt or Conrad, do have the Blackwidow and maybe, if you are lucky a DAS. If you tell me to which town he'll go i can look for a smaller store for you.

Appreciate the help mate, I'll let you know where he'll go.

Well, it seems PCHome is a very very cool option, considering they ship boards for only 10 USD!! But I have to know how they send the items... If it's private company like DHL, they will charge me a lot for customs expenses.

But if they ship with company that uses PTT (Our governmental mailing company, just like Royal Mail) in Turkey for deliveries, then it'll be superb!

Any help about which company do they use for posting?

Im in the United States and they shipped it through United States Postal Service which is equivalent to your PTT

Sounds promising thanks!

If only I could learn the domestic mailing company they use, I can be sure for %100 tho.

I guess that must be it; http://www.post.gov.tw/post/internet/u_english/index.jsp?ID=21

I can see PTT in the list;

Just like keyboardco, they use their govermental postage service and they hand it over to yours.

For example. keyboardco is from the UK, they send their boards with Royal Mail.
Royal Mail hands the board over to the customs of your country and then they hand it over to PTT.

Thanks again! So it will be PCHome then!
