+1 for zfrontier. I've been in a few different buys over there and they're really great. I've gotten all my items either on time or ahead of schedule as well, which is impressive since it all ships directly from China.
It is worth mentioning that with keyclack it's basically just one person doing all the work, so the frequent delays ard more understandable in my opinion. One day I'll get my WK-001 lol.
As far as others, while not really a different site, @ProjectKey is probably my favorite artisan maker and links their group buys in the talk section on here. I've bought two caps from them and they're absolutely stunning, with quality that's better than other artisans I've purchased from well known makers.

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?

Some of the vendors on this list have had their share of controversy, I'll try to keep it noted if there has been an issue with them.
Hope this can be useful to consumers or even people who want to host a GB. You do not HAVE to go through Massdrop!
TheKey.Company
Notable GBs: GMK Terminal, GMK Led Zep (In production)
https://dixiemech.com/
Notable GBs: GMK 9009 (in production)
Originative.co
Noteable: GMK Hyperfuse R2, GMK Miami Nights, SA & DSA Hyperfuse + Penumbra R2 + more. Very often keep keysets in stock, expect a markup
Controversy: Prices on higher end especially for in-stock stuff. Current issue with REVO RJ HHKB GB.
Zfrontier (https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/keysets)
Noteable: Multiple successful JTK, Maxkeys sets. GMK and SP set GBs now too I believe.
Often times used as a proxy for Asia with other GBs as well. There have been several successful, exclusive GBs on Zfrontier. From my personal experience, they truly care about the customer which is always refreshing to see
Keyclack.com
Noteable: GMK Hydro, GMK Oblivion, SA Camping, GMK Muted
CONTROVERSY: Definitely worth noting there has been massive delays and very little communication with certain buys from this site. Users of Massdrop will feel at home.
PLEASE COMMENT IF THERE'S ANY SITES YOU'D LIKE ME TO ADD OR ANY ISSUES WITH VENDORS PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
