Title: what would you want from S.Korea and Japan?
Post by: calavera on Tue, 05 July 2011, 19:58:48

I have two buddies in each country coming back to the US in a few months. That got me thinking..what could I make them get me? Any suggestions? hehe

A custom keyboard perhaps from S.Korea if anything ever comes up in their classifieds for sure but what else? Realforce seems expensive as **** anywhere.
Last time I had a friend bring back a realforce 86 before the prices sky rocketed.

Anyways back to topic guys. haha
I went over to leopold.co.kr and noticed they've got double shot ESC key caps for sale.
I shamelessly ripped the pics and photoshopped them into one :P (pink WASD is not double shot)

(http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu23/calaveratf/aase.jpg)

I like the red ESC, they resemble cherry corps ESC.
Also available in ALPS switches so.....I think I'll just have him get a bunch of those.


edit: They also have RGB modifiers but not double shot and colors are ewww so pass on that.

.. you havent done anything to get them

How do you know what I have or not done in regards the Topre keycaps?? I have not post anything yet, because like you may know there are not custom Topre keycaps and it requires to build the required plastic injection molding tooling (This requires multiple quotes). Instead of DEMANDING THE CURRENT STATUS you shall offer you HELP and request WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOU?? . I am assuming the I am dealing with mature people with some degree of initiative, please do not make think that I am wrong.

calavera I apologize for this out of topic answer

The doubleshot keys from the leopold site are made by signature plastics.

Full layout, do not want. :P

I also have a Tesoro M7 with black switches so don't think I'll be getting those.

Oh well, both of them are months away from returning to the states so I have plenty of time to poke around.

The orange cap from leopold.co.kr with the animal footprint is titled

"Iowa enthusiasts"

Being from Iowa I am somewhat confused about the meaning of this keycap.  Is this referring to some sports team or something unrelated?  Or possible that google translate is crapping out.

Maybe it's IOMania being oddly transliterated?
