I thought the main reason was that true top mount would not allow you to change the switches in the hotswap without disassembling.
Although I think their documentation suggests doing it taken all apart to prevent popping a socket off. So the point is pretty moot now.
The clearance sale they are having is even more impressive.
The price on the aluminum NK87 is killer at $195 and a full set of DSS from SP is only $105.
Great deals. Even the plastic NK87 is a pretty good value at $95 on clearance.
Ah I like that Cherry Charcoal set a lot. Accents are nice too. Thanks for sharing
Well I never thought I’d see SP release a new G20 keyset. Simple BoW, but still interesting.
Nice. I don’t know if I would put G20 up there on my favorite profiles to type on, but I can say without a doubt that I type better on it than on XDA. I don’t know why, but it is what it is.
I don’t think they will sell very many with that pricing. $65 for just Alphas, no mods. Basic black on white dye sub. I get why they can do that for SA, no one else does high quality dye sub in high profile (Drop Mt3 high profile dye sub is almost there though).
OH wait… there IS stepped caps and control in a kit! That’s really nice. I always try to put Semiotic on a board only to realize 1/2 way through the process that I don’t have a stepped caps for that set.

I think I’ve seen this here before, but for anyone not already aware, stabs designed to be paired with shorter travel switches are a thing now. They’re calling them “long stem” which makes sense to me; I’d guess they match-up well with Gateron’s own short-travel switches like Ink Yellows, Kangaroos and the Ink Box series.
One more while I’m poking around Swagkeys’ site;
Some Nylon JWK linears with long-pole P3 stems (Epsilons, Durock POMs, Cobalts), on sale at the moment for 55 cents each. *Note - shipping might be high depending where you live!
I’m not one to preorder switches but I’ll admit, the components of these could make for something really interesting. They’re apparently going to use the same molds as Box Inks: https://dangkeebs.com/products/group-buy-gateron-camping
Missed opportunity to call them Campinks
New NK87 EE color…I like
NK87 Mary Kay Edition
On one hand NK_ releases killer boards with fantastic colors, like this, on the other hand they release youtuber editions.
Amazing to me that they can’t do a quick Google search to see why people might be upset about the content creators they choose for partnership opportunities 
I don’t follow Fortnite at all, but it could just be the fact that Mike likes Tfue. He tends to pick projects that interest him personally.
The crazy thing about youtube, is that it has 2.6 billion users, so a 10 million channel like that guy is actually a drop in the pool, 99% of the users probably never even heard of this channel.
I assume that the people joining group buys are adults and they’re less likely to be into Fortnite let alone get a Fortnite-youtuber merchandise, interesting choice considering the previous youtuber board didn’t seem to be much of a success (yet they did a second run of it).
No hate, just wondering a bit about it.
It might not just be the dude’s Youtube. It is probably a collection of things. Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch. All of those avenues would help get the board out there and maybe reach some one that doesn’t normally see the scene stuff. Forgot about TikTok too.
It’s going to bring in new customers for them, I’m sure. Versus the number who are turned off by this move. So from a profit perspective, it likely works out in their favor.
