Korean buying service
« on: Thu, 01 January 2015, 16:39:44 »
Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you had any experience using Korean proxies. I'm looking to get a b.87 keyboard PCB from winkeyless and an acrylic housing from hanaacryl. If you know of anything else I need to complete the board (other than switches, I'm gonna stay domestic for those), please tell me. Otherwise, what is the best place to get this stuff sent to me?

Thanks

I'm curious about this too cause the pricing from hanaacryl is pretty crazy. I just got my acrylic case from GON though cause I figured I'd support him.

Is it really that bad? Last I looked it was only 27,000 won (~$27 usd). Or are you talking about int'l shipping?
Do GON's cases support the b.87? Even if they do, wouldn't it be cheaper to get hanaacrylic's ($27 vs $70 USD)?

Either way I am trying Avecko. Waiting for a quote from them. I will report back.

By crazy I meant good, cause it's like half the price.
Didn't think about that, I don't think they support b.87 because GON uses bottom mounted USB on his PCB

Google Translate isn't very good, so maybe I am misunderstanding, but I thought there was a B.87R PCB that had the USB on the bottom.

Sorry I'm not too familiar with Korean boards so I really don't know.

Alright, here's an update.

Got my quote from Avecko. Total is gonna be $97.49 USD before int'l shipping, etc.
Google estimates the total of my items to be $72.61 so I guess it's not too bad. I think I'm gonna go for it, any objections?

Buy this instead of going through a proxy and save the trouble of soldering diodes and stuff.

Seems to be more expensive and uglier (no offense LZ) than the b87...
I was kinda hoping to do it myself anyway, seemed like a fun adventure
