Which Korean custom do you value the most?
« on: Fri, 26 September 2014, 16:27:16 »
What custom would you pay the absolute most for? For me it would be a duck Orion with full LEDs and lubed and stickers 65g reds for about 500. What is your most valued Korean Custom?

Is there anything that makes the 356CL better than the 360C? They look about the same to me  :-X

if I'm not mistaken it was made by Duck, so yes it is korean.

Different case design. Same PCB, same plate design though.

I don't get why the korean boards cost so much. They are just mech boards to me. Why so valued ?

Low production plus CNC time.  CNC time is expensive even overseas.

Not only that, but design time isn't cheap and it doesn't come quickly even for something as simple as a keyboard case.

And because each run only a small number of units are produced, for the otd boards anyway, 60-100.

Hopefully I can get a 360c one day, I think that is probably my favorite board so far. (So valued the most to me I guess)

This. It is all supply and demand; everyone thinks they are awesome (although some wouldn't pay for it) but there is such a small supply that when they are sold, they can be sold for astronomical prices.

Ah, I see. I suppose I can see the appeal just because it's so rare.

Gonna be contrarian and say "Leeku 3000".  Primarily because my interest in a custom has all been about "Let's use the switches I want in the slightly weird layout I want with the programmable controller I want" and less about the fancy case.  Being able to use an off-the-shelf G80-3000 case brings the price down to manageable levels, so it's the only one I could see buying at anything resembling full price.

Leeku 3k, 356CL DGE, GON NerD.2.

There are so many KMACs that you'll probably be able to buy one for sub $300, when the kits go for over $400.

Where is this sub 300 KMAC? I would swoop in for the kill on that.

356CL DGE and 356mini were always my favorites.  Never managed to get my hands on a DGE, though. :(

Different strokes for different folks.  You can always swap switches out, anyways.

True. But I don't know how to solder :p that's even more money on top of an already expensive board. Not very Geekhackish, I know, but as a 10th grade student with only a summer job, that is a huge dealbreaker.
