I can't get that page to load. I think I'd rather spam Clickclack's thread.
Edit: Some of those keys do look good.

If I didn't mess up somewhere in information collecting it looks like the more expensive model would run $18.50 US or so per key with the other being just below that. it looks like that price might include in country shipping though.

:cringes at price:

It reminds me of Zalman heatsinks-- gorgeous pieces of high-quality engineering, but fundamentally, a bit too expensive for what it is.

I want cup keys (like the SF0 design) but to redo even only the 36 alphanumeric keys would be over 700,000 won.  Almost a week's salary, the price of a decent 42" television, or a six-core Phenom II and a damned-nice video card.

Even Webwit posted a message on their site but only wants two of each (14x2 = 28 total).  Nobody's gonna bite the bullet and do a whole keyboard?

Wow, these are really hot.  I'd love to get some, if the page would load and give some information in English...

Zalman heatsinks are overrated;  I've always been more impressed with Thermalright.

This thread title got me all excited, thinking that Clickclack was finally dropping the bomb.  Turns out it's just more teasing from the asians.

I guess we'll have to cry ourselves to sleep on our big piles of free Model M's.

Zalman stuff is okay, but the fit and finish is the real appeal.  It LOOKS gorgeous, if you have a windowed case.
