The seller/manufacturer has to have an incentive to move/clear inventory. Or raise awareness of a product.

BlueCrownedThat was just a case of Kinesis trying to find a way to unload their unpopular, overpriced keyboard.

I wish that they got OLKB's more often. I would absolutely buy the Planck x Massdrop if they had a round 2. also wish there was more bluetooth variety of these high quality boards so that I could use it for work EDC

I would assume there's not enough interest, or that venders are happy enough/prefer selling elsewhere.

Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

*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!

Polymer clay
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

I see companies selling the same old keyboards like Happy Hacking, Kbdfans, and so on, that merely have the same old boring layout i.e. straight rows of keys that cause ulnar deviation, which irritates the nerves going through the wrists' carpal tunnels. These are unhealthy to type on all day long.
I see companies trying to dump unsold stock that was unpopular for whatever reason (e.g. Kinesis Freestyle Edge).
I see companies trying to dump unsold stock that has design flaws (e.g. Magicforce 49, which swapped shift and space keys).
I see companies trying to dump parts and unfinished products (PCBs, kits) because they overestimated the enthusiasm that people have for soldering and breathing in toxic fumes.
I see lots and lots of key caps, which presume that we already own keyboards that we like.
But rarely do I see anything that is innovative, finished and great.
Like how about an ergonomic keyboard, where the keys are not laid out in linear rows but like a gentle V? It doesn't even have to be split. It should reduce ulnar deviation.
Like how about a keyboard whose controller is a Raspberry pi Zero, so that GNU/Linux enthusiasts can enjoy programming the keyboard instead of loathe the idea?
Like how about a keyboard with an LCD screen and Raspberry pi zero that can serve as a portable computer? Even a simple 2-line by 80 character display would be better than nothing.
Like how about a keyboard with an SD card reader, and a headphone jack, that can play back music files? An Arduino or Rpi Zero would pretty much be the starting point.
Like how about a keyboard that has a 4-inch gap between left and right sets of keys, and a trackpad in the middle? Wide is OK if it is purposeful. Few people need a num-pad like on the Vortex Vibe.
The constant repetition of old ideas is really not just lamentable & tiring but it is in fact awful.
We're on this planet just once. Why waste our precious time with uninventive, derivative products?
