Title: GTune OfficeMaster
Post by: ManxLOLcat on Sat, 05 March 2016, 17:01:45: Seen a video on this board that I had never seen before so I wanted to hear if anyone knew anything about it, thinking this could be my next buy.

Where to buy : http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/English/detailview/item.aspx?goodscode=707290964

Any thoughts would be appreciated ^^

Plus I think the GTune is cherry mx compatible as well. Do you know actuation force of the RK RC930? The GTune is 55g which is what I'd want but it'd be nice to know the RK's as well since the RGB is quite appealing.

If you're interested in the lighting on the RK, make sure you go for the gen 2 version-- it improves both the backlight control and the transparency of the switches, among other things.

Curious what a 55g might feel since I feel it's a tad light sometimes even though I use cherry brown for my daily keyboard.

From my observations most Korean enthusiasts are lubing these boards; but to be fair they are lubing Topre boards as well.

If you want a full size with stiffer action this is your best bet.
