What payment means do you accept?
We accept Visa and MasterCard and debit cards including JCB, Maestro-UK and Solo. Paypal is also accepted at our secure checkout site.

When is my credit card charged?
Your credit card is charged immediately upon completion of the checkout process. Sophisticated systems are set up to immediately send your order to our shipping department, where items are to be shipped out by the end of the following business day.

What do you consider my billing address?
Your billing address is the same address information on file with your credit card company. When entering this information during the checkout process it is important that you enter this information exactly as it appears on your credit card statement. If the information is not accurate, your card may be declined

Can I cancel an order?
Orders cannot be cancelled once the checkout process has been completed. Due to our commitment to process orders quickly, once the checkout process is completed our warehouse is immediately notified to pick and pack the order for shipment. We regret any inconvenience that this may cause you

If you have any difficulties, please feel free to reach us by clicking the ‘Contact Us’ button on the website. We will get back to you shortly

Are credit card transactions safe?
Absolutely! In fact, it's statistically safer to use your credit card over the Internet than in a restaurant or department store. Payments are gone through Paypal or WorldPay servers, which use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL's browser, so that customer's personal information can be protected.

Do you charge sales tax?
A sales tax of 8.75% would be charged to customers in the New York State

Can I come to your locations to pick up an item?
Unfortunately, we are not currently configured for individuals to come to our locations to pick up their orders. We are merely an office for processing the paperwork for these transactions.

What will I be charged for shipping?
Shipping and handling charges vary greatly depending upon the value of the materials and craftsmanship of the piece and its final shipment destination. The shipping and handling rates are clearly posted in each item’s description and are non-negotiable. Please consider this when placing your order.

Who will deliver my orders?
Items will be shipped by UPS or USPS. We may use other carriers as necessary.

How long will it take for my item to reach me?
Please note that business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays, are calculated in terms of delivery period. In general, it takes about 2 – 5 business days for delivery

How do I track my shipment?
We ship your purchase before the end of the next business day after you have checked-out. We would send an e-mail with the tracking number so you can check the progress of your delivery at the carrier's web site.

What should I do if my shipment never arrives?
Please allow up to 10 business days for your item to be delivered. If it still does not arrive, please reach us by clicking the ‘Contact Us’ button on the website. We will get back to you shortly.

How do I ship items to a different address?
During our checkout process, specify where you want your purchase shipped. It can be different from your credit card billing address. You may specify any ship-to street address.

What is a keyboard?
In science and technology, a keyboard is a device that stores energy and makes it available in an electrical form. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy, producing an electric current when connected in a circuit. The finished keyboard is an electrically connected group of cells (wired in series) that stores an electrical charge and supplies a direct current (DC). We usually call finished keyboard as keyboard pack and unfinished keyboard is called as cell.

How to classify keyboards?
keyboards are grouped into following categories:
Alkaline keyboard
Zincic carbolic keyboard
Lead-Acid keyboard
Nickel-metal-hydride
Nickel-cadmium
Lithium keyboard
Li-ion keyboard
Li-polymer keyboard
Fuel cells
Solar cells
Other types of keyboard

What are the differences between Primary keyboard and Rechargeable keyboard?
A primary keyboard is not intended to be recharged and is discarded when the keyboard has delivered all of its electrical energy.
A rechargeable keyboard is a galvanic keyboard which, after discharge, is restored to the fully charged state by the passage of an electrical current through the cell in the opposite direction to that of discharge.

 

What causes short lifetime of keyboard?

  1. Charger or electro circuit can't be fit for the keyboard.
  2. Overcharge and over-discharge, etc.
  3. keyboard can't comply with the charging requirement

The lifetime of a keyboard can be prolonged by:

  1. Using the original charger
  2. Charging the keyboard after it automatically powers off, then full charge the keyboard
  3. Avoiding erroneous usage of keyboard, such as heavy pressure, short circuit, fall off and so on

Why can't the keyboard be charged?

  1. The keyboard has no voltage.
  2. The charger has no output electric current.
  3. Low charging efficiency due to external cause

Solutions to the problem:

  1. Test whether the charger has voltage and output electric current or not.
  2. Check if the charger is well contacted with keyboard.
  3. Activate the keyboard with voltage and current 1.5 times higher than those of the keyboard. (Use this method only when the keyboard can't be charged.)

 

What are the reasons that cause keyboard with no voltage or low voltage?

  1. No voltage.
  2. External shot circuit or overcharge, anti-charge
  3. Cells expansion and short circuit caused by direct anode contact and continuous high efficiency electric current overcharging.

It can be avoided by:

  1. Checking if the keyboard is without voltage or electric current
  2. Avoiding short circuit
  3. Avoiding collision and pressure among keyboards
  4. Charging the keyboard after it automatically powers off, then full charge the keyboard.

 

keyboard Maintenance and User Instructions

  1. A new keyboard usually maintains a discharged condition with very low capacity. It is highly recommended to fully charge new keyboard packs before using. You can refer to the users' guide of your electronic device for charging instructions.
  2. A new keyboard pack needs to be circled (fully discharged and recharged) three to five times to reach its optimum performance.
  3. Rechargeable keyboard will undergo self-discharging when left unused for a long period of time. Thus, it should always be stored in a fully charged state and kept in a cool, dry and clean place.
  4. To maintain the optimum performance of a keyboard pack, it is highly recommended to circle (fully discharging and recharging) it at least once a month.
  5. It is normal if a new keyboard gets warm when being charged or used. However, please pay special attention if the keyboard pack becomes excessively hot. This may indicate there is a problem with the charging circuit of the electronic device. Please consult a qualified technician if necessary.
  6. New keyboards are hard to be charged. Sometimes, your electronic device may indicate a fully charged condition about 10 to 15 minutes when the new keyboard pack is being charged for the first time. When this happens, remove the keyboard pack and let it cool down for about 10 to 15 minutes then repeat the charging procedure. Sometimes, a new keyboard will suddenly refuse to be charged. If this happens, a suggested solution is trying to remove the keyboard from the device and insert it again.
