I have a laptop with white lettering on a black keyboard. Does anyone know if I can buy hangul stickers to go over the keys? I've look on Gmarket but they only have stickers with both hangul and English letters. I only want hangul (on clear stickers).

Cheers

Duncan

Cheers. I think I've found exactly what I want now.

I've a set of RED letters, if that's any good to you.
Got them on ebay, they are peanuts.

I ordered several sets, wish I'd got white though as at a certain angle and low light they can be difficult to see.
I think I have 2 unused sets, but I'll have to check later.

Spend 4k won and get a Korean keyboard and plug it in (USB or PS2).

Lasts longer, won't come unstuck and if you want to get rid of the Roman letters, a bottle of nail polish only costs 1000 won and takes about 15 minutes.

A nice suggestion but I want to keep my set-up small and basic. I don't fancy lugging a whole extra keyboard around with me.

The hangul letters shown in the link above look like they just getting stuck on the keyboard like model decals rather than whole stickers. They say you can't see the difference between them and a keyboard that came with hangul from the start.

I bought some yellow ones from this same person on Ebay. They don't cover any roman letters. They are clear stickers that cover the whole key but you can't see anything other than the yellow hangeul. I've had them on for months and not one of them is starting to unstick.

I just bought a keyboard condom and hangul keys at Kyobo. I put the stickers on the condom and put it on the keyboard when I need Korean, and take it off when I don't.

I have a separate keyboard condom for Japanese.

I don't have worry about screwing up my keyboard, and the covers are rollable rubber and so are compact for traveling.

I don't know why you'd need a separate keyboard cover for Japanese as you can tell it to input using romaji instead. The other input method is so weird...

I use both methods. The Japanese layout doesn't bother me because I had to use it in Japan. I'm used to it now. I only use the romaji input method when I'm feeling pressed for time.
