Taobao Goods
« on: Sun, 26 February 2012, 23:51:48 »
I'll be heading over to China soon, and there has been some interest in items from taobao. I don't really know where else to put this.

If anyone wants anything, just PMme with the link on taobao/what you want :D

I'll just charge you the shipping extra and you'll pay the taobao price because I want to do something for this community :) I do accept tips though :D

Not too sure if this seems weird or unorthodox, but if it is just tell me and I'll take down this thread immediately.

Limiting this to 3 or 4 keyboards as my suitcase can only hold so many.
I can probably take a lot of keycaps though :)

I WILL SHIP ANYWHERE NOW AS LONG AS YOU PAY

I LEAVE ON MARCH 10
BACK AROUND END OF MARCH

Fastest typing speed: 131 WPM on typeracer, 136 WPM on 10fastfingers.

You get a Pro key instead of Scroll Lock :rofl:

Quote from: 002
With the 'Pro' key enabled, the Right Alt key becomes Control + Alt and the Right Control key becomes Control + Shift.

This was something requested by the distributor with the idea being that people using things like Visual Studio or Photoshop would benefit from the shortcuts.

So basically kinda useless

Anyone know if you can get a wire keycap puller from Taobao? They're really expensive in the UK, shipping almost costs more than the keycap puller itself.

Which is the exact reason why I didn't buy one. Worked out at over £10 for a keycap puller last time I checked.

EDIT: I have my trusty 105 key Filco MJ1 that I bought from Monja here on Geekhack (Who also turned out to be a no-show for the RGBY buy)

Damn.  The Topre keychain ring seems to be $63 US if Taobao is in Yuan.

I could buy .....maybe a Topre t-shirt for that.

Topre sure is expensive.

But you could always change the realforce cap for an Audrey Hepburn one!  Thats well worth the cost!

Nobody is doing custom dye sublimation printing on Topre-stemmed caps. Maybe should suggest this to Imsto.
