Hello everyone! I am a new enthusiast from Brazil and was wondering about the Brazilian market and the interest in keycaps and keyboard accessories.
Searching the web for accessories and goods to nourish this hobby/passion, I learned that I need to import everything: keycaps, keyswitches, PCB, cases, EVERYTHING, and basically pray so that my purchases pass customs without additional taxes and charges (which mark up the value by 100% sometimes), and that is not including delivery time, which can be months AFTER it enters my country. Some providers even flat out refuse to deliver here (perhaps due to burocracy, taxes and charges).
What I want to know is if there is interest in the Brazilian community to have a local supplier. I am not talking about industrial level production, but a reliable alternative which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to pay (keyboard products are charged in USD ou EURO, which kicks our currency’s ass). I’ve been thinking of investing myself into this, willing to put money to popularize this in my country and reduce the entry cost of it.
So, my fellow Brazilians, what do you say? Are you interested in this? Your input will be greatly appreciated!
Although this post is aimed at Brazilian interest in the hobby, everyone is very much welcome to bring their thoughts and input to the table!
Thank you very much! Hope to hear from you guys soon! ;)
