The company i work for might be interested to start selling mechanical keyboards in europe. We want to start with the ducky9008 model available with black blue and brownswitches. I'm not trying to sell them right now, nor will you be able to order them trough me. I just want to know if people would be interested.
Any questions or suggestions are appriciated!
EDIT:
Tankguys is the current reseller for US

They are almost identical to the filco and das keyboards.
EDIT2:
Lots of people have been suggesting tons of stuff. THANKS! But i should have been more specific, we are looking specificly at ducky keyboards. Ducky, filco and das offer one thing that non of the suggested models have. A plain simple keyboard (without usb hubs, soundcards and fancy leds) that do not require the installation of additional drivers and are available with blue and brown switches.

....? Do they not have mechanical keyboards in europe? I did not know this.

I just bought mine around half a year ago, but if I hadn't then I definately would be interested. I saw very few deals with decent shipping on mechanical keyboards.

Only filco and the price is about 150 euro's

Why would the market in EU be much different than US?

I don't know? I thought it would be interesting to see how big the market is. We are a small company and it's a pretty big investment so...

I don't get it. I mean, when i saw this topic i went to a random site (in this case, webhallen.se) and found mechanical keyboards. I might be misunderstanding the topic or something, but it's not hard to get a mechanical keyboard in europe. But hey, if you can sell them for lower prices or something, i'd go for one i guess...

1. 166euro's is very expensive especialy for qpad. (excluding shipping)
2. The site is not (easily) available in english
The only onther model i can find is the razer one and i think there could be a big market for keyboards other than steelseries and razer.
EDIT: also non of them have brown switches

Have the Razer Blackwidow myself, would gladly recommend it to any of you guys - great keyboard!
|
There is also the zowie celeritas. This one has the brown switches.
Or if you want Thermaltake you can also get that one.
|
I could buy a steelseries 7g in the netherlands for 100 euros. I think I misunderstand the topic but, you can already buy alot of mechanical keyboards and in the netherlands at least for a decent prize.

Thats another site with mechanical keyboards. It's not in english, but i would think if they are this easy to find at nordic retailers it can't be that hard in other european countries. And the price is not that bad either tbh. I still think there is room for more people to sell these things tho, but thats just me...

Lots of 6gv2 for around 600sek (~60€) in Sweden and its a sturdy piece of work.

The main problem with the steelseries is that it's only available with black switches which are better for general gaming. While the blue and brown switches are better for fast typing (and thus rts gaming).

Did I miss something? I just have to search for "mechanical Keyboard" in amazon and I get plenty of results.
