Looks like even Novel Keys is getting in on the broken-in switch game. Maybe they got tired of other people making money off their switches?

Are there other offerings of broken-in switches?
RNDKBD comes to mind. There are others but I picked up some of their “Ultraglides”.

That is super cool. I love my switches after they are worn in but not that much of a fan of the break-in period. Good to see that that is an offering that’s available if people want it.

I don’t even like RGB, but this has me understanding why people do. I have their Baldr60, but went with a very ambient underglow since that one was pretty frosty. The way the light saturates and refracts into a sort of psychedelic prism just looks freaking fantastic.

For that price I would want the glass to disperse the light into spectral colors

The question is, would they actually sell you one right away if you paid that much?
All I know is that for less than $400, which they’re claiming the sale price will be, I’m actually kind of interested. It does look really good.

Same here. Their last GB was delayed about a month, but the communication and updates were frequent and honest. I also appreciate they use three different QA grades and that they actually took the time to do that.
Very in depth reveiw on stabs. I wished I had this when I was struggling.

I’m went back to using GMK screw-in stabs for better compatibility and consistency. I don’t think new vendors have the same rigor as GMK in design, testing, and quality assurance.

In the end I found you can use decent stabs like Everglide/Durock V1 or KBDFans’s PC stabs, as long as you use quality keycaps/switches.
And by quality I mean good tolerances and minimal wobble with switches.
Gateron Ink Black? you’re gonna have a bad time with rattle even if you use the best stabs, Durock Linear/Kailh BOX? chances are you’re not gonna notice much rattle with most stabilizers.
I may be wrong about that, needs further research…

I don’t know if anyone else really likes the form factor of the Ion Jubi like I do, but I was excited to see that there is a R2 coming soon. This was posted in the Ion discord at the first of the month and I just saw it.
Big fan of this board b/c I love 60% and it gives you the ability to add some flair on the left

There goes another $500. Sigh. Every time I think I am done for the year… thanks for the heads up, I think!
