MX Black is easy in Japan.

My last sighting of MX Reds were in Fukuoka. But that's not very close to where you're going...

I'm almost certain they are sold out in Japan (I looked) but I don't know about Seoul.  KBDMania.net has an english forum.  I kinda doubt it.

China is the new Japan.

When do we get maids?

Tangent time!

Maid café are like strip clubs where they don't get naked, you just pay for their company.

Is that the general idea?

Crafty, crafty women.

WhiteRice you just described a club with Hostess's, like dance hostess's, they're already in the states.  I had a friend once go to apply to be a dance hostess, I'm glad she didn't get the job, it seemed shady.

I just found out that friend of mine is currently in Tokyo but I don't need a new keyboard or have a desparate need for Cherry reds.

I could write that he will look for a certain mouse for me but because ripster most likely finds that boring I only write it in small. :p

Well, the price range from when I saw them in Tokyo was ¥4000 to ¥15000. But that was in February. When I went back in June, no more MX Red boards anywhere.

nads93uk, when were you in Japan?

Wish Majestouch wouldn't be so lazy and just order up a custom batch of Filcos.

I'd whine in his forum but it is closed.
