The keyboard has nothing to do with being able to type Hangul characters. You can google how to add language sets to your OS and be able to type them. This also depends on what OS you have, as some do not have language support and you need to either upgrade or add them via another method. The keyboard just allows you to have labeled keycaps. I ended up going with http://www.daskeyboard.com/ I have to say I'm impressed. I got the cherry mx brown (silent) set and the keyboard is very sturdy and has great feel. I know everyone is jumping on the Filco bandwagon but I definitely think there are comparable keyboards. PCchome is pretty good as well as others have mentioned. | ||

Yes, Das keyboard is a real contender to the Filco one. I recently bought a brown filco and will probably buy a blue switch Das keyboard soon. I'll post reviews of the comparisons when I do. | ||

Sorry Das, sorry Blackwidow. | ||

I just cover my keyboards with a old t shirt that i wash every month became easier then taking them apart and cleaning with qtips the nasty ass insides with hair and crap in it. I don't care about looks i use cheap keyboards. Also i roll up the end of the t shirts and there is my keyboard wrist rest that is soft and i can keep clean lol. | ||

That's not a good protoss keyboard; thats a good Wings of Liberty keyboard, therefore its a Terran keyboard. The WoL box is blue, the UI is blue, and the website is blue. I bet you can pawn that off to Painuser or another terran for double what you bought it for. | ||

While this might be an acceptable solution for you personally, and honestly no offense intended, this is also the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day =) | ||

Ducky is probably the rarest mech keyboard within the USA, and it is absolutely as good as Filco. If you guys can get a Ducky from that site, definitely go for it. | ||

Where are all the FILCO keyboards? EliteKeyboards has made great strides in bringing the FILCO keyboard brand from obscurity to popularity over the past couple of years, but unfortunately our supplier is no longer able to meet the demands of our market. Not to worry! We're moving on to a new brand that will meet or exceed the quality of FILCO while providing a better value for our customers. Coming in 2011 Jan/Feb. Please join our newsletter for announcement of the release date of our new line of Cherry MX switch based keyboards! No more filcos? | ||
