I couldn't find this model on the Cherry site, but NRC have them on their site, 120,000 won each. It looks just like a G80-1800 but with brown or blue MX switches and two USB ports. I've just emailed them to see if they ship to the UK.

Great find. I would be interested to hear how you go.

they look good. 120,000 Won = about a hundred bucks. Be sure to do a review if you get one

You see that particular layout on ebay all the time (but not with blue sliders, usually black).

Man, I hope they ship to the UK.

I never received a reply so I'm assuming they don't. Does anyone know of a Korean buying service similar to Crescent-Shop?

There's this but I haven't tried it personally.

http://global.gmarket.co.kr seems to be the only confirmed agent ATM.

Two members contacted buythekorea and never got an answer.

I signed up but got no response from buythekorea.

I found this model for sale. 1098 yuan is alot though, nearly twice as much.

These keyboards should be programmable, you know ... using the cherry keyman software ...

Why does the Asian market offer a good choice for quality keyboards as opposed to the Western market? I mean prior to http://www.elitekeyboards.com Filco was not readily available on the US market. It's even worse in Canada.

Because the Asian market has been shown to spend more on good keyboards, so companies cater to that market more there?
