[LF] Looking for Cherry MX keychain distributor
« on: Wed, 26 March 2014, 17:15:47 »
In www.mediavida.com, a Spanish gaming forum we have a small section for Spaniards keyboard aficionados (some of the Spanish folks around here also have an account there.

A couple of months ago we started to organise a small GB for our community to create a custom keycap with the forum logo and we also wanted to include a Cherry MX keychain to boost orders and allow people without a mech keyboard to order some of our keys to reach the MOQ.

We got a price estimation from a GH vendor that went MIA 7 weeks ago, so unfortunately we want to move on and look for other alternatives. We did a IC and we estimated we could sell around 120 keychains (right now I would say that a number close to 100 would be a safe estimation).

Basically, as one of the organisers, I'm looking for a distributor which can provide us with around 100 Cherry MX keychains, no keycap included, and if possible, different switches to choose. If only the keychain would be possible, we would try to solve the MX switch thing on our own.

Thanks for your help  and suggestions :)

Well, I was thinking about not giving too many details but probably it does not matter at all.
The user (I consider him "vendor" regarding he has been running a case GB) is alixinhzai, from Vietnam.

It seems that he is pretty busy right now for personal reasons, the initial communication with him was ok, but after the Lunar New Year he has not replied almost any GB PM according to some of the threads on the forum. Our potential order is kind of small, so I fear that if he shows up again and we decide to make business we may suffer from another delay without too much feedback.

bunnylake is making brass keychains

moz is doing the 6th ann keychains

if you let GH in on the GB i'm sure you'll hit MOQs much easier than just the spanish gaming forum for keychains

Thanks a lot pacifist!

I have dropped a PM to MOZ, I think his GB is the one that best suits us.

Regarding we do not have too much manpower and the distribution is going to be complicated, we were thinking to stay small (or at least "euro"), but we will have to reconsider our strategy.

Thanks again for your suggestions

moz's 6th ann GB is long over, but its being shipped out right now. He has the capabilities of running another GB, but he may or may not do so, as he is currently pretty stricken for time

I realised about that checking his thread. Let's see if he can help us in some way. Time is not a real constraint for us if the GB is going to really happen.

@CPTBadAss, no, I don't. I was not associating him to techkeys.us (my bad!), and now I realize he had those keychains in stock. He will receive my next PM ;)
