Title: Korean Custom Keyboard Questions
Post by: Firebolt1914 on Mon, 06 April 2015, 10:45:22
I decided that I wanted to get one of these keyboards, but I have no idea where to start... I'm going to guess that they're usually acquired through group buys.

You could buy one from winkeyless.kr/en/ I have mine from there and has a lot of different LED support, and there are a lot of acrylic colors you can choose from, and the case dimensions are available for download so you could have a plate cut in aluminum yourself if you want.

Fnzzy and some others compiled a nice spreadsheet of all the custom keyboard offerings, Here's the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vNa5WhV7wu6LnYyMSVQghPdghPnTMCN1-6peTPmKhtA/edit#gid=0).  This should be a good guide to get you started.

Well, GH is being included in more kustom GBs luckily, but many of them still just happen on Korean forums. The best place to find any certain kind though is in the classifieds of either GH or Asian (korean, chinese etc.) forums

Yeah, it's not great, but it works for just getting the general meaning of something, which is good enough for this.

It seems the winkeyless, GON and Duck boards are easiest to get new outside of Korea. Anything else your best bet is classifieds.
