Weekly Update - May 1, 2019

Keyboard Kits

  • All keyboard kits are now back in stock!
  • Two new kits are currently in prototyping, the Practice65 and Ortho75. The Practice65 is a kit in the style of the Practice60, except 65%. The Ortho75 is a 15x5 ortholinear kit, that fits into a 60% case.
  • As a reminder: My source for low profile sockets is now out of stock. The price there was amazing, and I doubt I'll be able to get that kind of rate. I'm working on sourcing more. Moving forward, they will no longer be provided with kits (as half of you guys don't use them anyways!) but will be available to purchase.

Keysets

  • GMK Wavez has been a great success! Today is the last day to purchase, so don't miss out!
  • Check out the IC for GMK Peaches n Cream. It will be available for Group Buy on CannonKeys in July!

Group Buys and Preorders

  • The Satisfaction 75 group buy starts on May 6th at 6pm EDT! A product page will soon go up. There are more details available on Geekhack.
  • The Brutal60 has officially sold out. The order for the units was placed previously, and the factory is currently working on manufacturing.
    • China is currently on holiday, but the top parts of the cases are done being machined. The rest of the machining should follow, along with finishing.
    • Plate orders have been placed and it's no longer possible to change plate selection.
  • The Instant60 PCB is available for preorder. The PCB features hotswap sockets, RGB underglow, and per-key warm white LEDs. The PCBs have all already been paid for with the manufacturer. Check out the full prototype here.

Upcoming

  • The Isotope-NE is now in interest check! Check out the full meme here.
  • I am still planning on stocking Gateron Yellows, and trying to source a tactile option that's better than Gateron Browns as well.
