New Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard Photos. Keyboard Still Not Shipping!

New Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard Photos. Keyboard Still Not Shipping!

Searching the internet today, I found BetaNews has a hands-on article on the Chuwi Hi12, what’s interesting is they have the keyboard. Something that seems only some websites are lucky enough to get sent to them. Note that the touchpad is now grey in color and not white! But still the keys are still white, grey or black would be so much nicer looking.

But still no word on when exactly this keyboard dock for the Hi12 will even ship. Banggood just sent me another email stating it’s out of stock (again) and if I wish to cancel, order something else or wait. The ETA of the keyboard has been pushed out about 4 times and now it’s only listed as “coming soon” GearBest, Geekbuying and all the other retailers also have no stock, so it’s defiantly a supply issue. The Hi12 has also just been released as a Dual Boot with Android 5.1 and Windows 10 Home.

Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard - 1

Ugly? The first press images of the keyboard showed a white trackpad too. At least that has been changed, now change the keys to black please Chuwi!

  1. hi
    the keyboard dock is shipped on 13 of april from banggood.

  2. Ordered it at Banggood, new expected stock date is now 21. april
    As I ordered it was listed with a stock date of 14. april

  3. white keyboard is better or a “laptop” if there is no backlit
    .
    The touchpad is just ridiculous
    it’s not convinient at all switching from the keyboard to the touchscreen. The touchpad needs to be usable

  4. Well that is a bummer. I hope gear best at least ships the HI12 sometime this month…..

  5. It’s not listed as coming soon on gearbest. Or is that a lie?

    • No sure according to them it’s shipping in 3-5 working days. Could be true, who knows. But often they do that and later it’s updated to say 6-9 business days.

      • The ridiculous thing is after telling me that the tablet will be available today for shipping, they said yesterday that it would be available after 1-3 business days.

        Today however, i received this:

        “Thank you very much for placing order with us. I am very sorry for the delay of your order.

        We are very sorry to tell you that the item Chuwi Hi12 12 inch Tablet PC is out of stock for now due to the stop in production of our vendor.

        I am so sorry to have kept you waiting so long.

        To better solve this issue, we kindly provide you 2 options:”

        Essentially, Replace or Refund in GB credit.

        WTH? They are still selling both the windows and dual boot version the website and have the gall to send me this…

        • wow I ordered a Hi12 around 25/3 and I have been quietly waiting for it to ship, I asked today and they replied with 2 options, wait 3-7 days for next stock or option 2 choose replacement….to which I choose to wait. It seems they are not very uniform with their reply’s, and once I wait the extra say 7 days then what….I could of ordered from somewhere else and it nearly be here. It sounds like they couldn’t come good on the massive price cut they offered

          • after complaining several times, they finally ship my order today..

      • one more update, i ordered on 24th, march

        Date Status of Shipment

        12-04-2016 10:47 The item has arrived in the country of destination
        11-04-2016 21:11 The item is on transport to the country of destination
        10-04-2016 12:53 The item is at the PostNL sorting center
        31-03-2016 07:28 The item is pre-advised

    • they shipped my 8 days ago and i am waiting

  6. when will you receive your Teclast X3 PRO? Mine is still not shipped (Gearbest)

    • Mine hasn’t shipped, I also ordered from Gearbest (Easter sale) and I did contact their support and was told it has been delayed until the end of the month by Teclast. And since no one else on the Teclast Chinese forum has it, or on Tmall etc I do think it’s true. Just have to wait 🙁

      You certainly need lots of patience when ordering for China.

      • mine, on Gearbest, also delayed. They told it would ship after April 10th, but who knows…

      • with this price and dimensiones, i think it should have been included a battery inside. This keyboard Its not thin, and not cheap.

    • while waiting for 14 days, Gearbest service tell me my Chuwi Hi12 is still in China, WTH.

      Anyway, i will report your order to our supervisor
      Maxwell at 17:00, Apr 11:
      We will contact with shipping provider and push them.
      hallo at 17:00, Apr 11:
      does this make sense

  7. nicer with this touchpad.

  8. Hmm, the mystery of the missing Hi12 keyboard dock thickens. Perhaps the revised colour of the trackpad is a sign that the keyboard may actually appear sometime soon, but I guess we’ll know sooner or later. It’s not good to keep people waiting like this.
