Custom Mechanical Keyboards - Vendors List

Online Vendors and Marketplaces

Only vendors and marketplaces for custom keyboards and keyboard parts will be covered, with a bias for stores accessible from the U.S. Some stores offer international shipping, and for those, I’d strongly advise reading through their shipping policies before placing an international order – the customer is usually responsible for any import duties and fees. For pre-builts, I’d suggest looking at Amazon, Newegg, or Micro Center.

Group Buys
In some cases, a product – often keycaps, switches, or keyboards – will be greenlit for production or distribution only if a number of buyers show interest and a minimum cash goal is reached. Think, Kickstarters. Group Buys may be organized by an organization like Drop, or by individual community members like on GeekHack.

Note: Group Buys are not guarantees. Be aware that there is a risk associated with placing a deposit on a product not yet confirmed for production or distribution.

Group Buy Sites

Sites that monitor the status of active, upcoming, and finished Group Buys.

Marketplaces

Purchase from at your own discretion.

  • Aliexpress
  • Amazon
  • Banggood
  • eBay
  • Etsy
  • GeekHack
  • KeebTalk
  • r/mechmarket

ThocStock

Hunting down a specific keyboard part? Try ThocStock! It’s still a work-in-progress, but its purpose is to keep track of keyboard parts that are in-stock across various keeb sites.


Final Words & Logistics

If this thread looks familiar, it was prettied up in the likes of KeebTalk’s List of Keyboard Retailers / Shops / Stores / Vendors?. This list is based off theirs, as well as other resources mentioned in the Bibliography. I’ve collated it all into one place and I constantly refer to it when I recommend keebs or keeb parts to peepos.

My list is bigger than your list!!! :eggplant:

Vendor News

To keep this thread relevant, I’ll post keeb store-related news in here. Discounts, upcoming sales n’ promos, mishaps with product runs – so on and so forth. New product launches will be kept to a minimum, as 'Chew disdains advertising and marketing. :sweat_smile:

The sources for these keeb news will usually be one of the 75+ Discord channels I lurk in, though I’ll attach a website link when possible.

Contribute!

Let me know if you’ve found a keeb store that’s not on the list, if you stumble across any dead links or closed store sites, or if you have any other general suggestions! :grin:

Please keep in mind, though, that for the sake of this thread’s integrity, I’ll be looking at new and unfamiliar storefronts with a scrutinizing eye. Better to withhold information, than to unintentionally deprive someone of their money and time, methinks.

Disclaimer

A site being listed above does not equate with me personally vouching for the storefront’s legitimacy. While I will try to keep the list free from sketchy and scammy vendors, ultimately, I am a single person managing this list, and this single person is very much human and fallible.

Bolsa Keyboard Supply - Upcoming 1 Year Anniversary
Region: U.S.

June 18th marks the one year anniversary for Bolsa Keyboard Supply, and to commemorate, they’ll be holding giveaways throughout the month.

Giveaway Items:

Currently, there’s no info about what platform Bolsa Supply’s planning to use for the giveaway, or whether there will be entry/regional requirements, but I suspect they’ll run it in their Discord server’s #giveaway channel.

Update: My suspicions were true. Bolsa Supply will be running the giveaway in their Discord server’s #giveaway channel! Uncertain whether there are entry or regional restrictions, though.

  • Discord Invite for Bolsa Keyboard Supply: If you’d like news of the giveaway from the source, or to join the giveaway!

Sign up for KPrepublic’s loyalty program (i.e. email newsletter) and receive $2 off your first order. Existing subscribers will not be eligible for the promo, but you could always use an alt email. 25x20

  • Loyalty Program Link
  • Code D1547236 for a $2 Discount with your first KPrepublic order.
    • Received this code by testing the promo link with my alt email. Uncertain whether the code is tied to my email address, and whether it’ll work with other people’s orders.

KPrepublic carries a large selection of keebs, keycaps, stabilizers, switches, modding tools and accessories, and other miscellaneous items. Their selling point is low prices and free worldwide shipping, but delivery can take 1-2 months. Recently, they’ve been stocking up on knock-off “artisan” keycaps of dubious quality (see “Group Buys” link below). :sweat_smile:

Mechboards UK - Giveaway
Region: U.K., E.U., International(?)

Mechboards UK (also MBUK) is hosting a giveaway on gleam.io for a limited time (24 hours).

Giveaway Items:

  • 3 Switch Testers
  • 3 Acrylic Keyboard Stands
  • Mystery Prize

The giveaway notice was very brief. I’m uncertain whether there are regional restrictions, or whether international/non-U.K. entrants must fulfill other conditions to receive the giveaway items (e.g. paying for shipping fees). Still, it doesn’t cost anything to try first, and argue about it later. :laughing:

Group Buy News - KAT Atlantis, KAT Explosion, KAT Mizu News
Vendors: Daily Clack, mykeyboard.eu, Deskhero
Region: Australia, E.U., Canada

Summary
Keyreative, working with feedback from multiple vendors, has announced that they’ll be switching from dye-sublimated PBT to double-shot PBT keycaps. This change will likely be applied to their in-production keycap sets – namely the KAT Atlantis, KAT Explosion, and KAT Mizu – and may mean a longer delay in fulfilling Group Buys for those sets.

Buyers that have joined Daily Clack’s, mykeyboard.eu’s, and Deskhero’s GBs for the KAT Atlantis, KAT Explosion, and KAT Mizu have the option to cancel their purchase for free, should they disagree with Keyreative’s double-shot keycaps decision.

Source words are below, for those that prefer to hear news from the source, or in the event I’ve misinterpreted or neglected some detail in my summary.

Source: Daily Clack

Hey Gang,

We have a substantial update to share that will affect the timing as well as quality of KAT Atlantis, KAT Explosion, and KAT Mizu.

As you’re aware, Keyreative has been hard at work addressing quality issues from previous sets. As they’ve navigated the pandemic, and continued to push, we’re excited for what they can deliver.

Unfortunately, there is going to be a further delay. It’s no secret, we love KAT keycaps, and we think they can be better. We’ve submitted feedback to Keyreative about multiple sets that we’ve received, and have challenged ourselves to get our customers a beautiful set that brings the designer’s vision to life. In Keyreative’s zeal to deliver to your/our standards, they preemptively decided to switch from dyesub PBT to double shot PBT. While this was an independent decision made by Keyreative, we’re working closely with them on the final approval process. We will review a full set plus novelties to confirm the quality of the double shot. We also hope to be able to review every single kit - but have not received a commit from Keyreative about this.

While we’re disappointed in yet another delay, we hope that the superior quality and complete follow through from Keyreative, Rensuya, and CannonKeys will make this right. We look forward to delivering beautiful keycaps to you, as soon as we can. We’ve heard that the full sample set and novelties should be ready for review sometime in July - but aside from that, we don’t have a firm timeline.

Given that this is a significant change, for the next 7 days, we will be allowing anyone who joined any of these group buys to cancel their GB order for free - no questions asked, no fees involved. Please email [email protected] if you’d like to cancel now. We’ll open another free cancellation window after receiving a full sample set and posting photos, for those who aren’t satisfied with the quality of those.

Hey everyone - as you may have heard, Cannonkeys and Rensuya have shared some slightly unfortunate news regarding upcoming KAT sets (Atlantis, Explosion, Mizu).

Keyreative has decided that doubleshot PBT (from dyesub) is the best way forward to improve consistency and quality. Unfortunately this shifts timelines back even more :frowning: Deskhero fully supports Cannonkeys/Rensuya’s continued efforts on this to ensure quality with extra sample reviews.

We will follow their Refund Policy.

For the next 7 days, Deskhero will allow Full refunds on KAT Atlantis, Explosion, Mizu orders with 0% fee. PayPal refunds may not work after 90 days so we’ll work with you as best we can if that is the case.

Please email us at [email protected] or create a ticket over at #order-support-ticket

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding - we are confident the final product will exceed our expectations.

Update: mykeyboard.eu and Deskhero sent out notices in their respective Discords, similar to Daily Clack’s. Post has been updated accordingly.

  • For international entrants, shipping must not exceed $30 (including customs, taxes, and VAT).

  • Yes, please! All of 'em.
  • Yes, please. But only ones with lax entry requirements.
  • No, thank you.

'Chew is weighing the benefit of giving peepos the slim chance to win a giveaway, over her disdain for classic advertising shticks. :thinking:

Keep in mind that many of these giveaways on other forums / social media apps have “entry requirements” that aim to spread the store’s publicity (e.g. following them on IG, leaving a comment on the Reddit thread, liking and sharing Twitter tweets), as well as other caveats (e.g. region-specific, customers only, older accounts only, frequent / recent Discord activity). These requirements exclude a large portion of peepos from entering, which makes these “giveaway” posts more akin to adverts, aaaand I intensely dislike being used as a mindless advertising / endorsement tool.

Promoting discounts n’ sales are a bit different, in my mind. At the very least, there’s an incentive and a slight benefit / savings to be had with discounted products. Promoting giveaways that are only open to elite groups sorta… doesn’t benefit the casual consumer at all?

The middle-ground, I suppose, would be to only post giveaways with “lax” entry requirements; as in, giveaways that are open to all, with no particular registration restrictions or additonal effort necessary (like gleam.io ones). The bottom line is, if I* can enter, so can you.

*Note: 'Chew doesn’t have a Reddit or Twitter, and while I do have an IG, I’m very stingy with my follows, likes, reposts there. In relation to posting giveaways, this means if the giveaway requires the participant to register for a Reddit, Twitter, IG, FB, or other forum / social media account, I won’t post it here.

Vala Supply News - Imposter Instagram Account

Summary
There is a Vala Supply Instagram account that is impersonating the Vala Supply’s brand and legitimate Instagram. The impersonator has been claiming that people have won giveaways, directing them to a website to “register” (seems to be via bit.ly links). Vala Supply urges its followers not to respond to the fake account’s instructions or links.

The imposter Instagram account uses @valasupply_, with an underscore.
The legitimate Instagram account is simply @valasupply.

Example Message from Imposter

Source: Vala Supply

PSA: there is a fake Vala Supply Instagram account. Be safe.

It just came to our attention that there is a fake Vala Supply Instagram that is DMing people claiming they’ve won giveaways and directing them to a website. That is not the official Vala Supply account.

The only official Vala Supply Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/valasupply/ @valasupply
The fake account is https://www.instagram.com/valasupply_/ @valasupply_

I know this looks similar… but please know that the @valasupply_ account is not ours. If that fake account DMs you claiming you’ve won a giveaway… that is not true. You will only receive official Vala Supply messages on Instagram from @valasupply.

All the reports we’ve received thus far include a message similar to the one below. Do not click the enclosed bit.ly link. Do not provide them any personal information. We will always send giveaway codes directly and will not send bit.ly links.

If you receive such a message or would like to verify the authenticity of a Vala Supply Instagram message, please submit a #:person_raising_hand:│help-desk message or email me at [email protected]. Please note that the #:person_raising_hand:│help-desk does not support image uploads at this time, sadly.

Sorry for the inconvenience… we’re doing our best to make sure that this will be taken care of. Thanks for your support and be safe!
