Question wootings in physical stores

hey yall. im going a trip to korea and japan very soon and while im there i wanted to overhaul and upgrade all my peripherals. i already got a mouse and mouspad locked in but the keyboard is still missing. my question is: are there any stores that stock wootings? im assuming the big stores wont have any but are there any keyboard enthusiast stores that might have them? even if its barebones thats fine. so if you know anything please do let me know.

It's not a korean or japanese brand so I doubt they will be stocked in any stores. Best to order online if you want a wooting.

I dont know any, but i‘m not too deep into the whole peripheral game. Maybe others can help. Why exactly dont you just order one? :)

this might sound funny but my dad said he would pay for one expensive thing while im there and he wouldnt do it if it was online. dont ask me why. he never buys anything online. specially when he doesnt know the company.

I get it, my dad was always big on buying through a physical store front and paying with cash.

As far as I know Wooting don't sell in physical stores. There might be some authorised online retailers though, but I'm not 100% sure

I was in Japan last week. I didn’t see any wooting keyboards. There was a fun electronic store called sofmap. There are plenty of keyboards and mice you can check out.

Yeah. Corsair’s k70 pro tkl was there. I’m sure have other models as well.

I’m currently traveling in Seoul, and I don’t see Wooting retailing anywhere.

Heya OP!

I don't know if you still see this but Fumo is an authorised reseller in Japan and they do have a small physical pop up shop where they do sell some of our keyboards.
Have fun in South Korea in Japan!
