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?)

Hey!
Perhaps the UK stores should be taken into a separate category? UK is not the EU.
We'll have to pay a 20% fee for the order from there.

I agree with this. Ordering from UK being in the EU is not so cheap anymore.

Thanks @Black-millenium and @LukMas for the suggestion. I moved UK-based shops into a separate category.

@Hatubaz Please don't do that here. Ads don't belong here.

I build keeb-finder.com, a comparison website that features over 20 shops.
Maybe that would be something you could add to the list.

Hello Patrick, the site looks useful in general, but I cannot find a filter to only search for items available in EU. If you add such a filter, we could add it to the list along with the other comparison sites.

Hi, great list!
What about https://shelter.shop/
Have not bought anything from them, but seem to be in EU.
Cheers!

Hi there, nice list!
I noticed https://clickeys.nl/ is missing from the EU vendors section.

it's missing https://coffeekeys.eu/

You should add https://keycapsss.com/, they are great

MyKeyboard.eu can be removed :)

https://www.antipode.studio/ - could be added

myKeyboard.eu is dead. They filed for Bancrupcy
