mechanicalkeyboards.com for canada?
« on: Mon, 09 September 2013, 22:53:27 »
Hello everyone,

For the American there is a website specialized in selling mechanical keyboards https://mechanicalkeyboards.com. Does it exist a specialized site like this one for Canadian? If not, what is the best web site to shop keyboards?

Thanks in advance

I think the best we have is ncix.com for Canada. Otherwise, nothing really dedicated to keyboards.

+1 for NCIX.  Also, if you live in a major city, there are Canada Computers stores that have a decent selection, also lets you try before you buy.

lol those 2 stores pretty much covers everything though.  The only brands that I can think of that's missing are Leopold, Vortex and HHKB.

Otherwise you can pretty much buy everything that's out there.

You have options, at least.  In Australia there was one excellent keyboards only vendor in QLD - he disappeared a long time ago.  Another started up in Sydney, but prices are somewhat inflated.  Other than that we have a few computer stores that sell a random assortment of mechanical boards, with stock levels and model availability fluctuating wildly.

Usually it is easier ands often cheaper to simply buy from, say, qtan and ship from China.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
