Keyboard stores in NYC?

[Xuan]

Hi fellow keyboard lovers,
I'll be flying to New York in a few weeks, I don't want to loose the opportunity to get a new mechanical keyboard.
The problem is I'll rent an apartment instead of a hotel, so I might no be able to receive a mail delivery.

Are there any stores that sell these precious items we all love?

I want something compact and tactile, possibly not very loud. I'm leaning towards a Filco TKL with Browns but Lopolds, Noppoos, Pokers work too.

J&R and Stapples don't display much on their sites, will I find anything good?

I've been to J&R. The only mechanical keyboards that they have there are Das, which are shown on their website. Other than J&r, I don't think that there are any major retail stores that sell mechanical keyboards. You probably wont find Filcos, leopolds, noppoos, or pockers() in retail stores either.

Edit: ahh, they have the BW, the MEKA G1, Siig Inc, and Mionix Zibal 60() as well on their website.

Ha, Edited the pocker!

I found this, but who knows if they really have it their store.

You could always call ahead of time to check if they have it. It's a pretty low price for a mechanical keyboard, but you'll run into problems if you decide to buy keycaps for it. Newegg has some reviews on that keyboard if you're interested in it.
