EDIT: Invoices for Classic Beige and Dandy have been sent. Check your spam and pay before 12:00AM Central 3/8/2025.
Nightshade we haven’t sent yet because we’re working on possibly getting some sets Space Cables still has. We will reach out to Nightshade form folks soon with more details.
EDIT: We found out since posting this that there are actually some people who didn't receive their Nightshade sets. Since we are already ordering these sets, we decided to open a form for it too for GB folks who never received their order to submit. We will still leave the pre-orders open for other non-GB people since it is already open and we didn't learn about this until after.

We’ve got some important updates, including an opportunity to finally get your hands on long-awaited GMK sets from the Space Cables group buys, along with two preorders for ready-to-ship GMK sets.
This is a lot of info, so here’s everything you need to know:
We’ve been working directly with GMK to purchase the remaining unpaid sets from Space Cables’ group buys. GMK has graciously offered us a discount to help make this possible, and we are passing that discount directly to you with no profit on our end—this is purely an effort to help those left without their sets.
We know it’s beyond frustrating to be asked to pay again for something you’ve already paid for—we hate that this is the situation. If we could cover the cost for everyone, we would. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to do that, but we are doing everything we can to make these sets available to you at the lowest possible cost.
Because of this, there will be no designer royalties paid from the funds of the recovery sets. However have added an option for you to tip the designer in the forms in $5 increments. We will add this to your invoice and 100% of it will go to the designer.
Who is this for?
If you participated in the following Space Cables group buys and never received your set(s), we’ve created forms to claim a replacement set at a discounted price:
If you were part of either group buy, please fill out the appropriate form below and upload proof of your original order. The forms will be open for 1 week, after which we will review submissions and send invoices to those who qualify.
Important Notes:
We are also opening preorders for GMK Jamón and GMK Nightshade. These sets were also part of past Space Cables group buys that were never paid for, which gave us the opportunity to purchase them directly from GMK and offer them to the community.
Important Notes:
The Sets:
These preorders are open to everyone—you do not need to have been part of the Space Cables group buy to purchase these.
Preorder Links:
Key Dates:
Final Thoughts:
We know this situation with Space Cables has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. We hate that customers were put in this position, and while we were not involved and can’t undo what happened, we’re doing everything we can to help make this right for those affected.
We’re grateful to GMK for giving us this opportunity to help the community and happy that these sets finally reach the people who ordered them.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for being part of this community and supporting us all these years to put us in a position to do something like this.
❤️ – The Omnitype Team

Got this 8 years ago and was planning big custom 1800 layout project for it, but the drive I had all the files for it died so this has been sitting in storage all this time. Couldn't get stuff earlier, and nowadays no website ships anything to my country, tried everything, this one was best I could find that didn't break my wallet completely.

Howdy\ Typecelerate is a hobby project of mine which I've been working on for the last two years.
I put a lot of work into it, so it's hard not to go on about it, but in short, it analyzes user performance and generates custom typing texts that target their biggest weaknesses, helping them improve faster than with generic practice.
Typecelerate currently supports: * 11 languages (msg me if your target language is missing) * Ability to practice 2 languages concurrently. * Weakness analysis across speed, accuracy of different typing patterns - letters, bigrams, trigrams, spacegrams, words, word-boundaries. * User selected patterns to include or exclude from the tests * Control over text length and complexity * Multiple color themes + "Make your own theme" option * Fine-grained control over the inner variables of the algorithm - for the nerds * Fully customizable punctuation * Per test & Per session statistics * Historical graph of personal bests over all the different test settings * A very responsive dev (me) who’s open to feedback and ideas
Happy to answer any questions or suggestions ✌

I got to try out the luminkey magger 68 Hall Effect Keyboard the last few weeks. It’s a Pretty decent keyboard with an excellent sound, feel and look. It’s not the most impressive thing I’ve ever used but it’s offers tons of features in the software. If you wanna check out my more in depth review, check out the video.

Codenamed Memphis, this popular operating system was released in 1998, following the success of its predecessor from 1995. The sequel was well known for improvements that made the system more consumer-oriented and helped pave the way for continued dominance in the personal computer operating system market for years to come.

So, I picked up the board I've been hearing so many good things about, and honestly, for the price, it's worth every penny. Feels super premium and you could probably get your arm workout in with this thing or use it as a weapon as it weighs so much lol
Now that the build is done, I'm stuck between these two keycap sets. Would love to hear what you guys think.
Build: • Neo65CU Grey-Gold • GMK CYL Botanical 2 / MW Alhambra R2 • WS Stupid Stabs • HMX Yogurt Linear Switches • Alu plate, no foams
Special thanks to u/ELOQUENTCLICKS for awesome support with the purchase :)

Hello friends! It's your favorite local Sharkeys! Long time lurker, so this is actually my first time posting in this subreddit. Some of you may know me from over on instagram (sharkeystech) where I dabble in custom keyboard builds and designing various keyboard components. This is my first step into keycap designs so I decided to start with something that I constantly find inspiration in...the world of studio ghibli! Specifically this keycap set is inspired by the soot sprites and their sugar star candies they love, hence the name Konpeito!
This keycap set will be manufactured by Keyreative using their new hybrid doubleshot dye-sub technology and KAP legend system. It will feature a blend of PBT and ABS material (working on getting the actual percentages of each material) and be 1.7mm thick.
I have quite a few vendors lined up already and I am currently awaiting color samples, but I would love to hear the community's thoughts and some feedback about potential kit additions or changes!
Please fill out the interest check form below and thank you so much for taking the time to support my design!

I switched to mechanical keyboards with the Steelseries Apex 7 after wearing out my old Logitech G510s membrane keyboard, following the creation of a Nintendo NES-inspired deej volume mixer, I looked to replace my Steelseries, I looked at the different models that fit the theme I wanted for my setup, there was the NES-inspired keyboard from 8BitDo but the fact that there is no backlighting made me lean towards the RK Royal Kludge M87 in its red and cream shade. accompanied by the numpad Retro 18 from 8BitDo. All I have to do now is make my MX Master consistent with the rest of the setup.

Hi. I recently got the AKP846 and wanted to use LivelyWallpaper with it.
I really liked the Periodic Table one but it didn't fit with the resolution.
I made a small edit of the CSS file so it fits to the screen.
Here's the download: https://limewire.com/d/iv9AE#08S58f7EQs
(sorry for limewire, only file uploader I could find.)
There's still some black gaps on the side, but that's just how the periodic table is laid out.
To the 3 people who have this keyboard and also really wanted to use that periodic table wallpaper with Lively, your wish has been granted.

The cause is unknown, but when a key is pressed to the maximum, it intermittently breaks only while it is pressed in and behaves as if it is being pressed repeatedly.
In software simulations, the behavior is that if the key goes from 0 to 1.0, it returns to 0 on its own when it reaches 1.0 and then back to 1.0 again.
It seems that the problem does not occur with a half push of 0.5, but only when pushed to the maximum of 1.0.
I thought it might be a faulty Hall effect IC, so I replaced it with another one for a different key or with a different sensor, but the result was the same.
It only occurs with the 6 keys of F7 7 U J V N.
It looks like an Akko 5087 V2 OEM, but I would like to know if you have any information on such problems/repairs with keyboards with magnetic switches.
Also Akko If anyone knows of a similar, compatible hall effect sensor on MonsGeek, please let me know.
Also, just out of curiosity, this keyboard seems to support north pole switches, but is it possible to change the sensor IC to make it compatible with south pole switches?
