Can someone guide me how to buy Magicforce gateron switches on taobao? Currently I only found cherry switches and some alien switches which are in Chinese language. What's the Chinese words for gateron anyway? I've search online but can't find it... Currently planning to buy as silent and comfortable mini keyboard for travel.

You can search 魔蛋 at taobao, probably the first result smile.gif

Thanks for the info, I have bought normal items via taobao direct shipping many times(yes I can read Chinese), but a MKB seems too fragile for it.

I'm eyeing on this Coolermaster Masterkeys PRO L

RM5XX for Cherry MX RGB Full Size seems like a very good deal, but if it involves taxes and agent fees then it might not worth it anymore.  blush.gif

Imported an IBM Model M and a Magicforce 68 before, about one and half of a week then the parcel arrived at my doorstep biggrin.gif
But need to see china custom and also malaysia custom, sometimes lucky they process fast, if not need wait for a few days more tongue.gif

Any item valued over RM500 is subject to GST, import tax, etc. SIRIM too. Yes, definitely less likely than buying from the US, but Chinese imports are taxable as w
WRONGGGGG, got import tax! ell. This is where the agents come in, they lower the risk by a lot.

Skynet is good for cheaper uses, but for mine since it is a business involving mechanicals, I use a more expensive courier service, but if you're just buying one for yourself, just use skynet. ABX is fine too.

Courier to avoid: Kangaroo

P/S: They won't give extra care to mkb, etc, the only ones whom you should rely to give extra care would be the seller themselves, couriers no give fuk.  ohmy.gif

So if i import HHKB from amazon.jp also will kena tax also? :0
