phuketsub Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I tried in vain to clean and repair my Microsoft 4000 Ergonomic Keyboard (see pic) then yesterday hit Central and all the shops at BigC seeking a replacement. None had any in stock and the few staff that went to the trouble to see if it could be ordered all said "no have" (eg in Bangkok)...if anyone knows where to buy in Phuket I would be much obliged...my wrists are hurting me already just by typing this. I bought it here at IT City, but that has since closed down and the building now houses a bank. I will go to Bangkok soon and understand that Pantip would be the best place to look, but I would really get one in Phuket asap...any help much appreciated.

phuketsub Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well, after an extensive search of Pantip Plaza I am afraid to say that neither this keyboard, nor its successor the Microsoft 7000, are available in Thailand. After visiting about 40 shops there I eventually did find a display model at IT City on the top floor, but the service girl said it was 'not real'. I assume she meant it was a display model. I challenged her to plug it in, and after she refused I told her to get the manager. I pleaded and pleaded, showing the scars on my wrists from my surgeries and how much I needed the keyboard for work. I tried to explain that if it is a demonstration unit for a model you no longer carry, why not just sell it off? They said "It doesn't belong to us, it belongs to Microsoft so we can't sell it". Probably the most frustrating shopping expedition I have ever experienced. Anyway, I got my parents in the US to buy one (US$31) though Amazon.com and ship it out here, since Amazon doesn't ship to Thailand. Hopefully I won't get screwed by Customs. Just fyi for anyone else who may need an ergonometric keyboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks for the info. I'll suffer with the one I have for now, and pick one up in the states in May. Best keyboard ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
