The Pixelspace Shadow80 looks awesome if you like TKLs:

Cycle 80 and Neo 80 inbound. I’m tapped out for now, but the Neo looks more interesting to me despite TKD’s amazing colors. Neo sale starts Dec. 27!
These also look potentially useful. Will wait for Divinikey to stock them to give them a try, I guess.
(All from Simon’s weekly recap sheet)
Sorry for the crappy embeds. Don’t know the syntax to remove them, if possible. The Notion site is ofc the Neo.

I use very similar spacers for this purpose all the time, have been swearing by them for years. The ones I have are intended for North-facing compatibility, but I imagine either product could be used for either purpose. Just glad to see more options!
Oh buddy

Wait is this supposed to be the Cycle8, or are they trying to beat TKD to the market for the nearly exact same design?

Oh wow, you weren’t kidding. There are some remarkable similarities there.
No, it’s the Cycle8. Sorry, I misspoke. It’s TKD.
And there is also a project.
Of these three identical TKL projects.
I’ll choose Cycle8.
Since bear keyboard are new to this business. And although I like it, it has an F13 format and no split backspace. It infuriates me)
And neo studios are the worst for me. I would call them very lazy. For communication.

I have been hearing some rumblings recently in my local community, but I am now adding the vendor, LoobedSwitches, to my do not buy list.
The communication around Oak switches has been piss poor. I asked for a refund and I am pretty sure my support ticket is being purposefully ignored.
After nothing for 5 days, I checked the Discord, which is locked. Funny enough they say to go to the Discord for immediate support, but then Discord says create a ticket… got to love the run around. However, I did see a recent announcement that the Oak switches are due to ship in 1-2 weeks. Hence why I think they are trying to ignore me until they can just ship…
Not really sure what I could do here. I charge back doesn’t really seem like it would work either since they have 30 days to reply.
Anyways, happy holidays y’all!

I don’t have any loyalty to them or skin in the game, but what’s the issue with Neo?
I remember coming across this post and have held off on purchasing from there ever since

It really feels like a lot of the smaller vendors are really struggling. Part of me wants to support them, but at the same time it seems the safest as a consumer to just focus on the big, consistent vendors. Novelkeys, Omnitype, Divinikey, etc.

They all need your business! If the opportunity arises to support a good small vendor and/or creator, I think go for it, but don’t feel bad spending money at the bigger ones. They’re still small businesses in the end.

Found it and their other stuff on their site. Interesting that it seems like it’s .25u uniform stagger on all alpha rows, which you don’t see much (reminiscent of zlant). Custom caps, which they don’t yet sell in their store. It’s got strong teenage.engineering vibes.

I couldn’t buy from them) They didn’t sell to me)
This happened more than once. And several times. I bought it, of course, but it’s already a used product. But I couldn’t do it directly with them in terms of GB. Didn’t sell. In China.
They always sent me either to another country or wait until it’s in another country. As if if I could buy in another country I would write to them.

BSUN X switches on XMAS Sale at Unikeys
Discounted price ($3.78 for 10 switches) is shown only when in the shopping basket.
I already have a set but figured full POK housing with 4mm key travel and LY linear stem deserves a place in my frankenswitch parts stash.

I found that Talenti Gelato jars are perfect for storing switches. Priced similar to switch jars sold online ($5 something) and comes filled with delicious gelato. My favorite is Coffee Chocolate Chip.
