Looks like a shop opened by the Korean forum members, lots of cool stuff. Shipping will probably kill you if you don't do a mini group buy with other people though...

Yeah I think I remember Sherryton saying something about Korean distributors so these guys are probably the guys that are providing Originative the keyboards and stickers and springs in exchange for some GMK goods.

550 dogs for $18 when you order springs :p gotta love google translate

All seriousness aside, some of those prices are going to blow originative out of the water. 550 springs for about $18 is $3.27 per 100 springs and originative is I think $8 for 100.....

I'd sure appreciate 200 or so for a custom 104-key project.  Enough for a full set, plus extras for when I screw up.  PM sent.

Wow, please don't jump to conclusions by just looking at pics. Let me clear things up.
Everything so far is a space filler and unavailable except the KMAC 2.
KMAC happy will start selling in a few days as pre-orders.

considering it has GMK doubleshots, I have a feeling sherryton's had some sort of hand in that site. Always someone out there to capitalize on the community.  ;D

those keycap pullers are sort of hard to use and if you're not careful you can gouge the hell out of your keys. wire pullers are still the best.

^ kind of makes me wonder who opened up the store as this is pretty basic keycap removal information, and its unlikely that Koreans don't know how to care for their expensive products.
Title: Re: KBDMOD
Post by: limmy on Tue, 12 March 2013, 00:09:56
I want to try that puller. There was hype about the puller and I wonder what they are about. From the description, I see that the edges are rounded. So I think it is going to be significantly different from the puller included in Topre boards.

KMAC GB organizer opened the shop. I honestly don't think that the puller is going to damage keys.

If those keypullers are like the ones made by Topre they scratch the keys so they're not worth anything.
Title: Re: Re: KBDMOD

They also look like metal tongs, like the kind you use to pick up hotdogs with at a gas station :)
Title: Re: KBDMOD
Post by: dorkvader on Tue, 12 March 2013, 02:53:58
Another similarity is the wood they have available. Sherryton's keypuller is made from lignum vitae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae) (Pretty much the best wood ever) which is the same material used in those wristrests.

Now, after reading that, who else has wood available?

Post by: limmy on Tue, 12 March 2013, 04:22:07
I believe the keypuller is similar design to this:
http://www.neotec.co.jp/syouhin/etc/remover/keytoprem.html
http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&wr_id=130302 (see third pic)
http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&wr_id=133901 (see second pic)

I have not seen any complaint from Korean members that those pullers scratch key caps.

However, I haven't seen KBDMOD keypuller myself, so I can only guess.
Title: Re: KBDMOD
Post by: sth on Tue, 12 March 2013, 14:37:25

yes, it may be better than the topre design but pullers that grip just a very small portion of 2 edges of the keycap have been known to damage / destroy keys (even those plasic 'ring' pullers). i've never heard of a keycap breaking from using a wirepuller but i could be wrong about that.
Title: Re: KBDMOD
Post by: limmy on Tue, 12 March 2013, 23:35:46

In terms of grip surface, the new puller should be gripping more surface than any other puller that I have seen.(Take a look at the design) It seems that wire pullers should have most secure grip and there seems to be very little chance that it slips during use, though.

I will get one of those and make my own judgement. However, looking at the design I have good feeling about it.

be nice if there was a spring group buy because i'm going to hop on the "angry-train" and say that sherry's site doesn't work and hes not properly communicating with people's concerns.

personally interested in 62g and 45g (these must be insanely light)

Like I said earlier in this thread, NOTHING IS AVAILABLE YET except a handful of KMAC2s.
See the two squares next to the item title in red and orange? The red stands for 'out of stock.'

As soon as some stuff become available though I'm very likely to buy some stuff from them. :)

I posted a note on my university wall who could proxy things from Korea and managed to get 2 guys who could get a relative to organise what we wanted at a cost (not sure how much). Up side is that they both in eco and comm thus they are studying intern. trading and what not. I don't know if this would be any help to anyone but at least we all could get our hands on some of the things they have to offer.
