An update about Unicomp shipping to Malaysia. The good news is that they now ship stuff to Malaysia (again)! I was excited for maybe a minute. Why? The bad news... the only method of shipping is FedEx International. As an indication of how obscene the shipping cost is, two printed RGB sets will set you back a few cents under US$62. That's nuts!
I think in that case, it is better to get a big group buy with keyboards to go, or to ask US proxies to help.
The people at Geekhack at great in helping out, especially when such gross injustice occurs.
I did some testing with the unicomp calculator
1 keyboard $62 (62/ea)
2 keyboard $73.9 (37/ea
3 keyboard $99.9 (33.3/ea)
4 keyboard $117 (29.25/ea)
5 keyboard $138.54 (27.7/ea)
Or about 10 sets of 101-key Model M keycap set, ships at $67
Pretty decent shipping cost, but we need a lot of people joining to make it worthwhile
