Wait what? Seasonic USA is also one of Topre's US distributor along with Tiger Import (who then owns mechanicalkeyboards.com) and Elite Keyboards? Who knew? Seasonic makes some of the best PC power supplies in the world along with the likes of Delta Electronics. And then, there's Ducky Channel who is Topre's distributor in Taiwan. In fact, Topre made some special edition keyboards for Ducky Channel to sell in Taiwan such as X11R0 (104UB-DK). Ducky's relationship with Topre is no surprise since Ducky Channel started out as a distributor and then turned to manufacturing itself. Since now the two compete in the same space although with product lines and price range, we will see how their relationship evolve overtime.
I am a little surprised, but I shouldn't be. Many Asian business are very relational driven sometimes. Therefore, it is no surprise that some of the most unrelated companies or even competitors can distribute, manufacture or market products for one and another. Then again, look at Samsung and Apple and no one should be surprised anymore.....
