I detect a complete lack of bolted on flares.

I was also expecting something completely outrageous, on par with their usual flamboyant style, and am kinda dissapointed, looks like a half arsed OEM effort.
Plot twist: It comes with kailh box jades. #outrageous
There’s no comically wide sides. Disappointed.

Wow, updated line of standardized, feature filled boards from Splitkb.

first board in a while that I’ve been interested in, a little 40% tri-mode VIAL alice-like:
in the months since I got the split lulu I still haven’t adapted fully, so I know now I’m pretty limited on what I can use, but I bet this would be awesome for someone else.

I have no experience with their new composition in which to judge, but I’m still skeptical and disappointed.

I have no real issues with JTK, but I think KeyKobo has ate their lunch. KKB is way closer to GMK quality than JTK.

I agree. JTK could never really figure it out. Instead of focusing on nailing the legends or color matching they invested in new tooling for triple shot legends. A new feature doesn’t fix the bugs, lol. I own at least a dozen JTK sets, and I could never understand how even with the recent releases, they still had the giant bracket keys and other weird legend issues. The thing I liked the most about JTK was the feeling of their plastic and texture which has to be changing to some degree with the new blend. They will definitely be going without lunch.

I also like the feel of JTK cherry profile plastic, but I always disliked how you can press the left or right edge of a 1u cap and make them lean. I always have to make sure they’re straight before posting photos

If anybody cares about caps this far down the price scale, I feel like I’ve confirmed that Akko MDA and Womier/XVX ISA are indeed the same profile. Left is Akko, right is XVX.

Official promo video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uACvx_9RjuA
Came across this macropad on Aliexpress being sold by multiple stores and had to do a deepdive to find some videos on it.
‘Anticater VK-01’
Been in the market for a wireless volume knob and the aesthetic & color options for this one are really nice. Promo photos caught my attention. Ordered one – will share my experience with it when it comes in!

Not sure where to post this, but I compile these monthly switch wrap-ups based on real sales data – and maintain the associated switch database with all the switch models mentioned in these posts.
If anyone is interested, here are last month’s numbers coming from 17 vendors and manufacturers, representing about 1.5-2M switches sold (just from their top10 performers):
I’m not a switch expert by any means, just mildly stats-obsessed, so feel free to reach out if you spot any of the many possible errors in the data sheets.

Kdbfans board coming out with an EC PCB option including the new AEBoards EC switches. I may have to pick one of these up just to test those switches out (purple PC of course).
