INTEREST CHECK: KBC POKER (European Distribution)

Hey guys,

For quite a while we have been working together with the KBC guys, considering a direct distribution in Europe. This would in the end, save you quite a bit on shipping costs.

How many of you would be interested? The prices we could offer are below:

MX Blue: €65,00
MX Black: €68,00
MX Brown: €68,00
MX Red: €71,00

For now we will only be able to offer black ABS keycaps with white lettering.

If you are interested, please leave your name and the amount you would be ordering. If someone could also translate the message to our new French members and see if any of them are interested, that would be appreciated.

Please note that this is NOT YET A MASSORDER and just an interest check to gauge the market further. Prices are an estimate and might change (though not by much).

I am interested in one with MX brown and one with MX red. I already replied the same to imstos topic at geekhack, but if these would be available roughly the same time here in Europe, then count me in!

At that price, I would definitely be interested in trying an MX Red, seeing as keyboards using that kind of switch are scarce in general.

Would these be shipped out from within Europe so that there are no additional duties to be paid?

Yes! We would import the big batch, then distribute it to you guys. Currently MX Reds have a really long delivery time and we are still not sure if we can mix and match boards to reach the MOQ. I will update you guys with the new info as I get it from the KBC folks.

I am interested in one with a Cherry MX Blue.

Although I am already in the GH MO, I may back out under the right conditions.

Given that this is for Europe, why ANSI? is the minimum order quantity more for ISO?

he only said "for some reason this group buy is cancelled". I'm not sure he knows himself.

I just hope sixty can get this European distribution going so I won't miss out on those sexy keyboards.

They may not be the best built boards around, but those prices really are fantastic for a compact mechanical keyboard, and they seem to be one of the few boards that offer red switches as an option. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it does seem like there are more and more keyboards coming out using the reds now though.

I was unsure about going for this or trying to get hold of one of the new Filcos, but considering the Filcos are almost 3x the price of one of these here, the choice is obvious.

If there are shipping problems, I could do with Browns instead of the Red.

On a side note I am a bit trigger happy on a ChocMini which i can get with roughly under 80€, so if it would take more than 2 months I may go with that or a Leopold :/
