So I'm looking to buy my first Cherry mechanical keyboard, the Cooler Master Quickfire with the blues. This Mechanical Keyboards website had the best pricing and allowed returns if you don't like it, and since I've only ever used buckling spring and black alps I'm a bit nervous how I'll like the keyboard. So my question is, has anyone ordered from Mechanical Keyboards.com? Are they reliable?
The price there is $81 after shipping, Newegg has it for $88 after shipping - but most frustratingly I saw this exact keyboard for $64 on Amazon a few weeks ago when I was convinced I wanted cherry reds. Now it has gone back up in price on there. Just looking to find the best price on the Cooler Master Quickfire with blues from a trustable website, anyone help me out?

I rechecked and apparently just since the other day Amazon now has the Quickfire with blues for $66 now with free shipping so I'll go that route - but good to know about Mechanicalkeyboards.com.

I am currently waiting for my first mechanical keyboard to arrive(i bought it from them). Thanks to naisanza, he received it for me in the US, checked if everything fine and sent it to me to Russia.
UPD: Oh yeah, i've forgot to mention that they don't answer emails, i had to call them via Skype(First time talking to a native english speaker ).

I just purchased a Ducky Shine II TKL from them this Wednesday and got it Saturday. No complaints. They have quite a large selection of Cherry boards. I previously purchased from Tiger Imports, and it looks like they're the same place, or merged recently. I didn't have problems with Tiger Imports either.

then most of american companies still declare their delivery package at international
would you rather buy a keyboard with any extra cost?
if u live there, it can be worth, otherwise, you ll be screwed for any products that you ve bought from USA
i only warn it here for european customers since deskthority is more related to Europe community

There are probably other vendors, ones in NL, you should look to. MK.com is still a reputable vendor.
Also oooof, 8-year necro post. Yikes.

Brought from them before (US), and they seem to be all right.
Good to know that they're still around 8 years later.

Yes, they are fine. The owner is a great guy. He helped me get a board that they miraculously had in stock as a return after being sold out (Topre Realforce Ducky Taiwan Edition).
It's a legitimate business. You have nothing to worry about with them.

I'll also put in a +1 for MechanicalKeyboards.com. US. I've only bought key switches and other parts, but no problems. I get a 5% off coupon every time I order, which is nice. They also had a lot of interesting stuff for Black Friday.
Some of the parts can be cheaper in other places, though. If you're going to buy a keyboard or key caps, make sure they're in stock or you might have a bit of a wait.
