I'm currently in korea for the holiday period. I was wondering where i can purchase some cheap mech keyboards here. I don;t really want to go all the way to yongsan.. If anyone can give me some suggestions, that;d be great. I dont wish to purchase off a website because i dont have a Korean SSN. thanks! | ||

I bought a Skydigital/스카이디지탈 mechanical keyboard (sponsers Team TSL) in a random store at Yongsan for 90000 won ($90~) | ||

Yes, we do; you have to declare items of a certain value at customs. However, it's only collected after a certain amount. So if you for example have a suitcase filled with jewelry or rich fabrics, you will be asked to prove that you got it in the US. | ||

it is not about "buying somehwere else" it, it is about "bringing it to the country" but yeah, as the us already have a bill "work in progress" that they can assault any person, anywhere in the world i would not wonder if the us want to collect taxes from me as a not citizen... since they already want my personal flight data, bank data, etc... | ||

You do realize that you need to have a Korean keyboard language added under text services and input languages to even type Korean or any other language for that matter.... For him he won't be able to type Korean without this, and that's when its just nifty to have Korean Hangul printed onto the keyboard. . This is no problem. Please at least know something about keyboards before posting. | ||

But I guess the OP has thought about it before asking so it doesn't really matter. | ||

Last yr i bought a laptop worth 3k a digicam worth 700, few ssd drives. $1000 worth of new clothes. and no tax was applied when i came back to aus. I do this every yr what you do and get away with it is one thing - laws are another, although i do not know the limit up to which amount you can freely bring goods from korea to australia, anyway i still doubt that you are allowed to bring stuff worth >3k without paying toll if they want to get you, they will, and they will also not care about stories like "it was a gift" or "i already had that" - especially in the EU and with electronic devices (even more if it is high-priced equipment) it is always advisable to get a certificate of ownership at your home airport, that says that it really was yours when you departed, to avoid any problems when getting back home | ||

L for lift/land on all terran buildings, every upgrade in the game, spells, etc. If you have to look at the command card and then look at the keyboard before you can throw infested terrans, it will seriously hurt your performance. Ive been touch typing since i was like 10 without any lessons, and there is no reason you cant learn to do so from just using a computer i think | ||

PLus a keyboard isnt exactly worth $1000 + so im ok bro  . PLus the OP by me was suggesting where i should buy keyboards !!! not about taxing laws so suggest more please! | ||
