I just saw that Phantom has a 40s and NorDe kit so now I want it to. But the chance to find all three feels less likely then winning the lottery.

GMK Yuri also available on Thockkeys. The Skydata version is $5 less than NK if you’re looking specifically for that version

ai03/CannonKeys are doing a layout preference survey, if anyone’s interested—

I wish all of the fields were optional rather than required. I have no interest in 75% and larger boards, so my “eh, whatever” sorts of answers would get grouped in with those who have a stake in the results.

Is this the new meta for designing boards based off customer feedback? 
Yeah, a ‘no preference’ answer should definitely be an option if they want more accurate results
Design by committee. That’s always been successful in the past. /s

I’ve thought about this as a wonderful, terrible idea: a keyboard that’s 100% decided on by the community (as best possible). Just to see what would come of it both in process as well as in product.

I think ai03 does this every few years, I faintly recall filling out his previous one.

My layout preferences change practically each year. Currently I am pretty over 65%, and I am into TKLs. Before 65%, it was 60%'s. Who knows what it will be in 2023.

Ouch.
I know I did the Contractor’s glance; Look, Laugh, Leave.

To be fair, many of the questions were general questions about layout preference as far as full vs split backspace & right shift, and also as questions about bottom row preferences. There weren’t details like mounting method or plate material or anything else too specific.

Keycult is going to be doing a B-stock extras sale tomorrow at 11AM EDT:

The Q5 is in-stock.
Admittedly, the sound test dampened my enthusiasm just a schtickle as I do believe I heard some gawdawful spacebar ping. I’ll bare-bones it anyways since BT would be a nice addition to the workflow plus having a numpad again just feels neato.

Retrocast and Nines extras on Kono. Expensive (Retrocast base is $65 markup from group buy), but here’s the links:

The markup on base I can kind of understand, but the markup on the novelty kit is nuts. Paying over $4 per keycap.

NovelKeys has a lavender purple BBOX 60 case available.
Building the case is a lot like beginner car or plane model kits; the parts come still on the molding framework and you snap them together. The case itself is basically a wide-bezel 60% tray mount, but with a bit more interior space than usual, which definitely affects the sound.
I’ve tried three switches in mine so far; and all three were deeper and louder in the BBOX than in a stock GK61 - but that goes for any flaws in the switches (and stabs), too - if they’re rattly, you’ll really know it.
On the other hand, though, if they’re nice and clean, you’ll get to enjoy that all the more. So far, my favorite-sounding switches in this case are TTC linear “silent” ones; I think they make a delightful poppy sound in this case:
