Long story short, crappy customer support. Again, itās for the best. I would rather support smaller businesses anyway.

ah fair enough
For sure. Personally, I will only buy in-stock sets from this point forward.

I was also shocked at the lack of a Brown Mod kit. They also continue to leave out the 1.25u R3 extras kit, making the set not very useable on 40s. I still ordered it. The allure of PETSCII is too strong, even with the maroon modifiers.

Aye. Iām likely going to hold off on MT3 Retro for if they decide to make a breadbin kit. If MT3 werenāt my favorite profile, Iād probably be out of reasons to keep shopping there.

I respect your conclusion, and while I shop at Drop, Iām as neutral-ish on them as I am with most vendors. But FWIW since AlexPK started handling keyboard stuff, thereās been more openness and reception to feedback. So, based on what Dave posted above, I think thereās a reasonable chance of seeing breadbin at some point.
Already upvoted. keep it goin!

I have recently discovered that there are people who bag lube switch stems, my God.

The main problem I see with this isā¦if youāre going to make a full-size keyboard, why mess with the standard layout? This doesnāt even look like it saves that much more space too (itās also the reason why Iām not a fan of the 96% layout).
Although, I do like the addition of a backspace key on the numpad.

Iāve bag lubed my stems on about 20-30 keyboards, possibly more. Most consistent results you can get and saves hours 
I think Iāve only hand applied lube to stems 3 or 4 times over the years. That was for box style stems.
Technically I ātubā lube them since I use a 3oz platic jar to shake them.
Itās quite efficient if you use a small container. Also easy to tune how much lube you want. Too much on the surfaces? Wipe the walls of the container off with paper towel and reshake. Lube looks a bit light? Add a few swabs of lube here and there to the side walls and shake like a mad man.
My cat isnāt very fond of tub lubing though. She doesnāt like the noise. I usually wrap the tub in a dish towel to make the sound more bearble.

Wait. I thought you lubed 20-30 STEMS and re-read, and you did it for 20-30 keebs? Itās time to wash my glasses I guessā¦

Yeah, 20-30 keyboards. Honestly, itās probably more. This is the main way I lube switches, and Iāve built over 100 keyboards throughout the years. Of course, some of them are unlubed, especially the earlier ones.
