Title: Is the Realforce 104 55g difficult to acquire in Korea?
Post by: dante on Tue, 03 June 2014, 11:31:15

EK has no plans for importing the 104U 55g and I was curious if some Korean members could chime in and say whether this is something difficult to obtain?

I think EK's main beef is they never produced a model without Hangul legends - but I don't think the average person would really care; especially on the near blank black variant.

Have you inquired EK about re-stocking the KBs?
Using both polite and courteous dialog I was able elicit responses to my inquiries previously sent to EK.
Sometimes I think they won't share information if it gives away too much detail as a need to know basis.
But in this case, expressing a sincere interest to purchase a 104ub 55g from them should be sufficient.
GL.

EDIT: my mistake, there's no 55g edition with English keycaps for the 104u

You may have better success with buying a 104u and do a 55g donor swap from other RF keyboards. Then resell the donor keyboards. Many ppl here have gone this route.
