The Power of Group Buys


As passionate enthusiasts of mechanical keyboards, we understand the thrill of discovering unique and exquisite keyboards and/or keycaps.

What are Group Buys?

Group buys are collective purchasing events where a group of people comes together to make a bulk purchase directly from a manufacturer or designer. These events often offer limited edition or custom-designed mechanical keyboards that are not available through traditional retail channels.

Group buys allow keyboard enthusiasts to come together and leverage the power of collective purchasing to access unique keyboards and enjoy significant cost savings. It's an opportunity to get your hands on limited-run designs, special colorways, or even collaborations between designers and manufacturers.

Deals or Risky projects?

That being said, Group Buys also carry a certain degree of risk. Most will accept this risk without issue, but some members of the community are not aware that keyboard or keycap group buy projects can be a risky endeavor. 

Many projects have failed or been scammed before participating in group buys. Either way, the result is the same, people have been parted with their money, with nothing to show for it. This is why we always recommend only purchasing at vendors with a long history of completed group buys.
