GTune OfficeMaster
« on: Sat, 05 March 2016, 17:01:45 »
Seen a video on this board that I had never seen before so I wanted to hear if anyone knew anything about it, thinking this could be my next buy.

Where to buy : http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/English/detailview/item.aspx?goodscode=707290964

Any thoughts would be appreciated ^^

Looks like another member of the PLUM/Noppoo/Royal Kludge capacitive keyboard family. I'd expect similar features, feel, and quality to an RK RC930, which you might be able to get a better deal on if buying in the West.

Yeah I had seen the Royal Kludge before, might be easier to get the GTune though (Tax and stuff). Plus I think the GTune is cherry mx compatible as well. Do you know actuation force of the RK RC930? The GTune is 55g which is what I'd want but it'd be nice to know the RK's as well since the RGB is quite appealing.

RK is available in 45g and 55g-- mine's 55g, and I think that's the more common option. It's also MX compatible.

If you're interested in the lighting on the RK, make sure you go for the gen 2 version-- it improves both the backlight control and the transparency of the switches, among other things.

RK RC930-87 55g is definitely interesting

I recently purchased GTune CHL8 Happytypist 50g. Typing on it now. I haven't tried Topre before but this feel good. It has PBT caps and the height is lower than cherry and has a slight slippery coating to it.

Curious what a 55g might feel since I feel it's a tad light sometimes even though I use cherry brown for my daily keyboard.

You can also get these boards in 62g weighting for both tenkeyless and fullsize with RGB lightning.

From my observations most Korean enthusiasts are lubing these boards; but to be fair they are lubing Topre boards as well.

If you want a full size with stiffer action this is your best bet.

They also sell individual sheets with different weights but don't know how difficult it would be to switch out.
