An open letter to U.S. customers....
tl;dr:
(0) the tariffs are indeed that bad
(1) if you want a keyboard, buy it now; taxes on individual packages don't kick in until May
(2) why we wish we could onshore, and why we can't
(3) what you can do

There's less than 36 hours left in our big annual sale. Take up to $50 off with free U.S. shipping on what just might be the most comfortable keyboard you've ever loved.

We're bringing back The Box of Crap, our occasional project to capture a little bit of the weirdness of the China small-scale manufacturing ecosystem and deliver it straight to you. Sales end Friday. https://t.co/TgLSjVnV0l
Some examples that *didn't* make the cut this year:
We're in the final hours of our Kickstarter for the Preonic! It's a fully mechanical, fully programmable, fully functional keyboard in a sweet compact package. Take productivity with you everywhere.
Back before Friday night to save $50 off retail

@SchraderValves@Kickstarter no, standard mechanical MX mount keyswitches. Every keyboard we sell is hot-swap, so it's easy to change out which keyswitch you're using if you find one that's a close substitute. I know some people think Kailh BOX Jade is similar in feel to buckling springs.
We just launched our next project, the Keyboardio Preonic, on
@Kickstarter! Our first ortholinear keyboard, our first wireless keyboard, and a lot of capability in one fun little package. https://t.co/QcfwLZgHZE
@Tomasthanes@Kickstarter We prefer "compact" ;) It's full-size keys, and we get away with having fewer of them by using "layers"—just like you type shift+1 to get !, on a Preonic you'd type Raise+o to get [. It's not for everyone, but there are quite a few fans out there
Hi Twitter!
We're fine, but, uh, our bank failed this morning.
We're using that as a pretext to hold a giant 72 hour sale on keyboards, caps, switches, & accessories.
Use discount code BANKRUN for 20% off everything we sell at https://t.co/QgTFFVe29S.

@ragectl The Speed Coppers are the most responsive — they have a high/early actuation point.
The BOX Silent Linear switches have softer springs, no tactile bump, and are silenced.
Those are your two best choices for gaming.
@ragectl Are you looking at the Model 100 or the Atreus?
In lieu of a prewritten list, we’re happy to offer personalized advice. What kinds of switches are you looking for?
