Cheaper Topre boards on PCcasegear
« on: Tue, 02 April 2013, 10:22:34 »
Via Topre's FB page:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=113_1297


$190 USD for an 87u. Woah.




edit: I should mention that PCCaseGear is Australian. (Hence converted price)

Yes, if it was 55g, I would have no second thought and click the switch.

Dang, if 55g was available we probably could've had a mini group buy for AUS proxy or something

I don't think they do, but you can always ask someone to proxy it for you.

AUS to USA shipping is ridiculous btw.  After shipping you probably won't end up with any kind of significant deal than if you had just bought the board from EK.

Yup. No real savings here. Better off just buying from EK

Shipping from aus to anywhere is ridiculous. 20$ just for registered.

I use to be a hard-core Topre lover but not now.

It's a brilliant deal, but no interest from me, just love the use of Cherry's too much.  Besides always hated being forced to spend money on key-caps from EK exclusively.  Really hated that rotten setup.

With Cherry's no one can hoard all the business hence there is plenty of competition because everyone can supply what ever you want in this switch and layout, especially when it comes to Key-caps.  ;D

Would be nice if pccasegear could get some topre keycaps in too, but i'm just not sure if there would be the demand there for them to bother.
