Second-hand

  • r/Mechmarket Subreddit : check what is on offer (check the [EU] in the title), or post what you want to get and state that you are in EU.
  • Ebay : you can find some second-hand keyboards, keycaps, and other components from UK or Germany

Chinese shops

  • The bigger ones: AliExpress, banggood, Gearbest.
  • TaoBao : Chinese language only and you usually need a proxy to locate a product and reship. Qtan is a famous guy who is a trustful proxy. He has also a site here: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/contact and also sells on Ebay.
  • https://www.yunzii.com/ : free shipping to EU above $45 (but beware of customs). They offer everything from kits, complete keyboards, through key-caps/switches into desk-mats and cables.

Japanese shops

i.e. if you want a Topre board or an Elecom Trackball

  • Amazon Japan : priority shipping is usually around 8-15€ (5-7 days). Customs tax should be high but the last time we only paid 5€ for a 45€ trackball (maybe Amazon has found a way to import to another European warehouse first?)
