Quick Poll: If EK stocked a RF 104UB 55g but had Hangul legends, would you buy?
« on: Thu, 05 June 2014, 21:53:40 »
I've been looking for quite a while for a pre-owned 103UB 55g and have come up short.  I'm still looking though.

In the mean time I seem to recall one of Brian's concerns that the only full size 104 Topre is a Korean model with Hangul on it.  So to that I ask you - if you were in the market for a fullsize 55g would the Hangul be a deal breaker?  Keep in mind this is on the black model that's barely readable to begin with.

Not a deal breaker at all-I think would add a nice aesthetic addition in my opinion.

Probably not, but I am only in the market to buy a white 87u 55g (so err 1/3).

However, if these are around the same price as the 87u 55g, then even if people didn't like it, some would probably use it as a donor board for the 55g cups.

NO would not buy anything from EK even if they supplied HHKB's in a 55g TKL style  ;D .

Did you have a bad experience with them or something?

Would a TKL HHKB even be a HHKB anymore?

Also, I may buy something with Hangul legends, I really like the aesthetic but at the same time, I have no need for a new Topre keyboard.

I get slightly turned off by boards with legends like that. It wouldn't be a deal breaker though. I'd expect a small price break. I wouldn't want to pay premium prices for a board I would not consider ideal.
