Taobao keycap question

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Hey there, I was going to order a set of these for the my 6gv2 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.24&id=13293743894 but I got a little confused on selecting which keycaps I would like to order, because of the characters next to the '7g/6gv2'. What's the difference between 7g/6gv2 有 and 7g/6gv2 同?

Thanks a ton!

Adding on to this, I want to order keycaps from Taobao as well, but I don't know how to pay with all the menus in a different language. But yea, what are the differences in characters? Curious as well.

In general, the easiest way to browse Taobao is with Google Chrome because it can automatically translate the page into English. Unfortunately, for these particular keycaps the translation makes no sense.

But the cart page where you checkout doesn't translate for me, for some reason.

Ugh, I just want to get some keycaps but don't have $50 to drop so want to find the cheapest way possible to get blank PBTs, 87 set. Don't even really care on color.

I can only help you with ordering since i have ordered few keyboards from there using http://en-taobao.com/ just fill out the quick order and you are all set. They charged me around 5% on top of the entire purchase and they have the cheapest shipping that i know so far. I hear a lot of horror stories about the taobao agents taking your money and not sending the items. With En taobao you will most likely get an email back from Lin, I have dealt with her 2 times already and received both of my items. They also take Paypal.

Edit: You can contact Lin by filling out your order and asking her about the differnce, she also found other items cheaper for me. She is very knowledgeable and will help you save some money or help you shed some light on your issue. thumb.gif

Wow thanks man. Super helpful. I'll look for the keycaps I want and see if Lin can't help me out with them.

i usually just use http://translate.google.com/ and translate from Chinese Simplified to English and it translates where you can understand about 99% of the site.

I've priced it out in the past and my conclusion has been that there is little to no savings in ordering most PBT sets through Taobao with an agent. If you're not planning to order other things, you may actually end up paying more than $50 after shipping.
