K8100 Yellow/Red Availability

K8100 Yellow/Red Availability
« on: November 15, 2011, 03:16:58 am »
I really wanted to order a red K8100, but after a couple of days of searching online now, I simply cannot find it for sale anywhere besides a handful of online shops in Poland if there were no possible localisation issues, I dont think any of them deliver to Ireland at a reasonable price. Having also checked EBay and finding nothing I'm starting to wonder.

Is it just a case of no resellers in Ireland/UK ordering these keyboards or is there a huge shortage of them? Or if anyone can point me in the direction of someone who actually stocks the red K8100, I would really appreciate it.

Hi and welcome.

I think that it is probably because the Red and Yellow versions are only available in USI layout and so I suppose not for sale in the UK or Eire.

Thanks very much for the clarification. :)

I did not notice that at all, I think it was seeing it on a UK review site convinced me. Oh well,  :(

I suppose if you didn't mind the US layout then you could probably order one as the diffference is not great and for some users hardly noticable. They do look extremely cool though compared to the usual run of the mill keyboards! 8)
