Do you know anything about Korean Custom Keyboards?

CM storm quickfire are nice, you kinda get a numpad aswell, tho you need to hit a button to switch

How about the Blackwidow Tournament?

I'd also like one with N key rollover or close to it. Thanks

Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid. Affordable, good switch selection, and made by Costar (same company makes Filco).

 

Nkey rollover with ps/2

I think TheProfosist is into Korean Custom jobs like KMAC, but they are rather expensive.....

 

If your preference is TKL, then you have quite a few brands to choose from.....Ducky Shine 3 DK9087S3, Ducky DK9087G2 Pro (non-backlit), CM Quickfire TK and Rapid, Filco MJ2 TKL,....heck, just too many to think of right now. 

 

Another option if you want a smaller board are those 75% and 60% keyboards. I'd recently gotten into such smaller sized keyboards and think they offer great functionality in a small package. Here are a couple of examples...

 

KBT Race 2 with Cherry MX Blue and white LED (75%)

 

KBT Pure Pro Cherry MX Blue with green LED (60%)

Size comparison between the Pure Pro and a Ducky DK9087G2 Pro (TKL)

What's your budget?

 

Get the Ducky Shine 3 (there are tenkey-less versions) if you can afford it, if not, get the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid. Its amazing.

Same goes with all those cool looking key caps...I'm referring to both those custom sets and special single or limited key caps.

Yeah, this is part of the reason that I have no money.

I'm using a Ducky 9087G2 Pro with Cherry MX blue switches. No complaints, can't go wrong with Ducky.

I really like the Corsair Vengeance K70, but it isn't TKL. Does anyone know one that is close to it?
