I often use Chinese input for my research and would like to have a chinese keyboard with cangjie and zhuyin fuhao input on it. Is there any way I can get one in the US? Any lead or tips much appreciated!

Thanks

Pete

My only hunches would be that you *may* get lucky on eBay by going to their Chinese site & finding someone there that'll ship overseas and can speak English & accept payments via PayPal. I believe the site is http://www.ebay.co.jp

Or, of course you can purchase one from http://www.apple.co.jp/, and possibly find some returns for sale directly through Apple. If the web wouldn't work, a call to Apple HQ could surely get you to any possible leads. Good luck!

Wouldn't the Japanese models have er... Japanese keyboards?
I agree with the suggestion anyhow; you ought to call Apple HQ.

I asked to get one before too, but couldn't find one. I want one with zhuyin on it. When I was in Taiwan, they told me they would change it for me for $100 US ($3000 NT), but they wanted to take it in the shop for a few days, so I didn't do it. Also, do you know anywhere online that I can learn how to use the other input methods like changjie or whatever they are called. Thanks.
