Keyboard Info Thread

[ABDUR101]

Since there have been about 5+ threads partaining to keyboards for the new releases of PSO, I'm stickying this to the top, locking all the other threads and giving links to them. Any new information regarding where keyboards can be imported, purchased or news in general partaining to a keyboard should be posted in this thread. Thank you in advance. =)

ASCII Keyboard 55$

The GC Software keyboard...

No U.S. Keyboard? Where can I import?

Since there's no keyboard coming...

Good idea Abdur. There were definitely too many threads.

I think the question on everyone's mind is how to order this import Keyboard and or how to make a normal

Amazon.co.jp Japan is sold out (if you trust Babelfish translations)

http://www.JapanVideoGames.com says that all orders placed today will ship early December. I guess that's one month -- which isn't too bad.

I also found keyboards on these sites, but I can't figure out how to get into the shopping carts, etc, and order them.

http://shop.himeya.com/

I've emailed and tried to call both of the above companies with no reply/luck.

I've found nothing else. Somebody needs to get a case of these and drop them on eBay. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Most of us would probably pay upwards of $100 with shipping to be able to talk to our fellow crackheads in game.

As making a regular computer keyboard or dreamcast keyboard work with the GameCube, no one on this board has seemed willing to try. I know I'm not willing to risk my bro's GameCube.

Good luck to everyone. If you find anything out, just let me know.

Here's another place I found a keyboard. UK people take note:

http://www.goblindirect.com/MainCont...AP&prodID=1006

The keyboard is $118.05 in US dollars including 24-hour Parcel Direct Shipping. I guess that's not too bad when you consider $25 of that is overnight shipping. So you pay about $93 for a twice-imported keyboard.

I'm not sure I'll pay that. I'd rather hold out for the US version or try to make one. But it's another resource for the truly insane.

I've been seeing a lot of rumours and mutterings about a keyboard that should be out by mid november, not Nintendo produced. Unfortunately it's JUST rumours so I can't give a direct link but at least it's a little something to hope on.

VideoGameDepot just re-stocked their keyboards. Order quickly. A rep told me that they only have a few in. I would have posted earlier but...I had to order one myself. >=P

Edit: Sold Out

They just sold out. They only had 5 keyboards.

*sigh*

Check this URL -- they are supposed to have them in stock in a week. So if you order today, you'll guarantee one shipped to you Nov. 8.

I placed my order. Total was $93 including $13 shipping from Hawaii to Seattle. Not bad for an almost impossible to find peripheral. Meanwhile, if news comes out of a US keyboard, or I find one at a store here in Seattle, I can always cancel.

But it will be worth the extra $15 or $20 to talk to my fellow players!

Lan Kwei's email get bounced back and the Submit Order form I sent on the site hasn't been responded to in over 3 days. So I don't thik they're an option.
