Favorite Artisans

Never thought I'd be into artisans as most of the time I find them gimmicky, of questionable quality or just overpriced.

That is, until I saw this:

Where do you buy them?

VontisticIt's different depending on the maker, but, in addition to Massdrop, Geekhack, r/mechmarket on reddit, individual homepages, Discord channels and Instagram.
Many of the popular ones, like Keyforge and ETF, are hard af to join and win because they use very tight time frames for joining raffle sales. For these, use notifications where applicable. Unfortunately, not being in the same time zone could mean missing out a lot (for example, when a drop happens at 4 am).
Check r/mechmarket for second hand sales. Don't be discouraged by some of the very expensive artisans. Most people do trades too.

Yeah I feel the same way for most of them. Things like the one you attached really have changed my mind about them. I guess the scarcity of them also makes me think it's worth getting them. I hopped on the "The Eye Key Mini Scene Artisan Keycap: Ha Long Bay" drop as well.

Not laughing. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. :)

controlits the board itself I was saying don't laugh at. I know it's frowned upon in these parts. I simply change the color of the leds to match my artisans which sit on top row (esc f1f2 etc)

BlueCrowned$50 + shipping. It sold faster than I thought though. I've had a sale pending since yesterday, shortly after posting here, and just received payment.
Wish you all luck in scoring one! I've kept the R1 1u SA Green Garden because I'm getting a matching Backspace and Enter key too. Those are supposed to ship end-of-summer-ish.
I think they've been fairly swamped with orders, getting everything ready, but after those are shipped, let's hope for another GB! :)
