  • Loob.no Norway based, focuses on lubricants, has all the big names. Also carries switches and accessories, and a small segment of keyboards.

  • Peripheral and Electronics shops which also sell (popular/gaming) Mechanical keyboards

    • cclonline : Ducky, Coolermaster and others, Cougar, Gamdias, iKBC, Cherry, Vortex
    • MaxGaming : selling all sorts of gaming gear etc. but they've been lately adding more and more custom keyboard stuff.

  • Amazon European sites : Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon France, Amazon Italy, Amazon Spain, Amazon Netherlands

Russia

  • Ergohaven being mentioned on r/ErgoMechKeyboards for Ergonomic keyboards (introduced in the reddit post here)

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

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?)

Very nice work grouping all this sources, it's very useful.
Thank you!

Hi there, you should add Keygem.store in there as they're a company based in Germany, there shouldn't be any issues buying from them and they do have a good selection of Switches, Lubes, etc.
(I am in no means associated with them or vouch for them, just found out and placed an order and since I've used this list, might as well contribute)

Heya, would add "https://www.eloquentclicks.com/", they're based in Spain and apparently only opened up ~3 months ago.
I haven't placed an order there yet but they have a solid selection for being so small.

I would remove mykeyboard.eu for now from this list. The have not even packaged or sent out any of the orders (as seen be reviews under products + my krytox lube with o.#:295342)
They were good year ago, but now they're gone, taking orders and not fulfilling them.

If they prove that they have the products and are going to ship them out - then sure. but now I strongly suggest not checking that website at all.

Did you mix in stock product with group-buys ? Because I ordered stabs on mykeyboard.eu and got them in a week.

I have not had that experience at all, shipping is far from instant, but I had a track and trace code within five days, and received my order two days after that. This was in May 2021.

@henfiber There's two shops that are not on this (amazing!) list yet. I can't make a PR on a gist, but here's the setup:

[Loob.no](https://loob.no) Norway based, focuses on lubricants, has all the big names. Also carries switches and accessories, and a small segment of keyboards. 
[SplitKB](https://splitkb.com) What's in a name: sells split keyboards and has accessories. DIY focused. Netherlands based.

Thanks for this gist!

Hi @Michael-ONEofZERO this list is only for shops in Europe (or shipping to Europe). I couldn't find in your site any information about shipping to Europe. BR

Hi Ilias.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Understood. We are not European so that makes sense. We do ship internationally but we do not have competitive shipping rates for Europe like we do in North America.

Kind regards

Michael | Product Manager | ONEofZERO ***@***.***
