PChome (Taiwan) - $20 Worldwide Shipping Promo

[MissileMike]

Yep I ordered a ducky tenkeyless with blue switches.  Will report back on how long it takes to get here and the quality of the actual board.  112$ shipped.

According to the site, it weighs 20g more than the equivalent filco.

[MissileMike]

Are you sure?  I know the fullsize ducky keyboards weigh less.  Never seen the specs for the tenkeyless, though.  But yes, it's probable/possible the reseller is wrong.

[WhiteRice]

Ducky 1087 for $107. Not bad.

[fssbzz]

great price..when is this expired?
wonder how the refund and warranty works.

[BlueRain]

Can't find the thread now, but wasn't there some build quality issue with the 1087?

Ducky 1087 for $107. Not bad.

[theferenc]

Mmmm...I want a ducky...more than a filco, actually. Dunno, something about the name works better for me.

Now if I could get a roast duck shipped for only $20 that was still good when it got here? Score.

[leotnnz]

i just found the promo that if you purchase any filco keyboard except 22 num pads, it will come with some free keycaps and the puller on the white and blue filco mx brown page.

http://world.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50476138&SR_NO=DCAH1Z&ROWNO=4&tm=u#

but i did not find this promo on tenkeyless brown's page. i am not sure if the free gift comes with the tenkeyless. but you guys could take a try.

i just hate myself why i ordered filco 104 from ek. my first choice is the tenkeyless and it is oos in ek, so i just ordered 104keys last week. i am wondering if i could refuse the pack from elitekeyboard and they will refund me or not....

If you refuse the package from UPS and it gets returned they have to refund you. You used a credit card right?

Anway, I saw that promo as well but like you said it was only for the blues. I placed an order at the armygroup site which ends up being about $20 more expensive but it comes with free keycaps. We'll see which site is faster.

There are some issues with the case quality, but it doesn't effect the function of the keyboard. For further detail check out the review thread.

ek sends the pack with fedex. and i used paypal.

what i saw is it says the promo is for every model of filco. i suppose the promo is available for tenkeyless, but i did not see this on tenkeyless page...that is weird to me...

You should still be able to get a refund. If he wants to be a **** about it paypal disputes are no joke for sellers.

Maybe you're right, I don't read Chinese so there's no way of telling for sure. The translation makes a lot of things ambiguous.

[kidchunks]

Got my filco tenkeyless brown from them for $139 including shipping. Didn't get the extra key caps but a free wrist pad. Will let you guys know of the out come.

When did you order?

[BlueRain]

The Chinese does say "any FILCO mechanical keyboard series", but it is not explicitly added in the cart. You should get both wrist rest AND the keycaps + key puller.

This is the PCHome thread...

What Wrist Rest?  If you are talking Army Group please start a new thread.

Chinese is confusing enough as it is without two resellers getting mixed in here.

I was talking about pchome, my receipt only showed the keyboard and the free wrist rest. Maybe armygroup includes more.

[BlueRain]

Aibo brand? See attached screenshots from the Blue FILCO link.

Which wrist rest?  Any link?

[leotnnz]

that is what i said i see the promo of the free keycaps and puller on other filco's pages except tenkeyless.

what he said..

it translates to
   This product comes standard with + gifts   
         Other gifts:
　■ aibo MINI silica gel wrist pad (in Taiwan)

So for those curious the filco tenkeyless browns does not come with a free cap puller and keys but rather the wrist rest. If you're gunhole on getting them keys head over to armygroup.

[leotnnz]

this wrist rest i guess.

When did you order?

[BlueRain]

No problem. One more thing, the promotion page seems to cover all FILCO keyboards, even the tenkeyless versions. The promotion named "FILCO New Store Gift" link.

[kidchunks]

Jeez.  Free is a very good price.

Indeed, why I aint complaining :biggrin:

[itlnstln]

Ha!  The spacebar is shiny in the product pic.  I guess they are saving the end-user some work.

[leotnnz]

Jeez.  Free is a very good price.

Plus I find that style kinda sensual.

That was quick. US Tenkeyless Brown has been sold out...

[BlueRain]

You can buy the one with the Chinese symbols still.

Bwahahaha.

Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.

[itlnstln]

Shocker.  Now, who said the US doesn't have a quality keyboard market?

I wonder if Cherry might... hmm... gives me an idea...

So just so I'm clear, if I order the following:

http://world.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A50475324&c=A05&tm=u

I would be getting the NKRO Brown Switch Fullsize English Verson Filco, correct? The same piece of hardware as the one here:

http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=filco_keyboards,majestouch_104key&pid=fkbn104meb

Plus the one from Taiwan includes extra keys and keycap pullers, all for ~$135 shipped, pay with PayPal? Is this all correct? [strike]If so, I might go for it given the absolutely horrible service from EliteKeyboards I've received.[/strike]

Edit: Brian from EK got in touch with me to rectify this. Looks like I'm canceling my order from Taiwan!

[jaynoon]

Can't find Filco key sets on the site, I could certainly have missed them though. Anybody else seen them on PCHome?

[kidchunks]

Sucks for those who didn't order when I was rambling my mouth about my order.

For those just tuning in, get your arse to armygroup and order a filco tenkeyless with browns (US) before they run out too. PCHOME is out!

I noticed this right after I posted, and I update link in my original post to the one I meant to link. Is "english tea-axis" the same as english? Sorry I can't really tell.

tea-axis = cherry brown switches

茶轴 = BROWN switches
黑轴 = BLACK switches
青轴 = BLUE switches

Great, thanks for the help. So I'd get the exactly same keyboard as the one at elitekeyboards for $20 less. I assume this includes the ps/2 adapter and red escape key, same as at Elite Keyboards.

If I want the puller and the extra keycaps, I'd have to go Chinese version.

[fssbzz]

yup. ps/2 is included.
and ya chinese version free keycap, red esc, wasd, and puller.

Not to push my luck (you've already been very helpful), but do you have any idea about whether I'm taking a gamble in terms of warranty? What if it's DOA, or what if it breaks in a month? It's not likely, but is there anywhere in the US that will service these if there's an issue?

[kidchunks]

Thanks so much for the help! I am ecstatic to purchase this somewhere other than Elite Keyboards.

Most likely you'd have to get down and dirty and fix ya own snit. Guess thats where EKB got these other suppliers beat. They provide warranty.

What about ducky keycaps?

Id really like to get the black on black ducky keycaps and put them on a tenkeyless filco.

[fssbzz]

did anyone pay with credit card trough paypal?
do you need to call your credit card company to verify for the confirmation?
