Drive on hard, always a pleasure to view the content. Getting it done desert dweller out…
International Freight is SO fucking expensive.
I buy the Unicomp version of the IBM Model M mechanical switch keyboards - and the could be heavier in the springing and all that - but they are like heavy machine guns to type with - FAST and they don't fuck with your finger joints.
OK so $120 US x keyboard, well the freight is around $100 US, and there is a sliding scale for the weight, that makes it far more cost effective to buy 3 boards at a time, for the freight.... and then you multiply the exchange rate of $1 US = $1.40 Australian - so your looking at around $1000 Australian for 3 key boards - and no one in Australia is importing them, and Unicomp are too fucking brain dead to come to better arrangments in regards to shipping and or distributing...
Pricey.
Good keyboards though.

$131 US + USPS $175 postage (US) = $305 US x 1.4 exchange rate = ~ $450 Australian for ONE fucking keyboard.
