This is the CiY tester68. It costs between $13 and $25 depending who you buy it from and what shipping you use. This is massively overpriced.

I can see $10 for shipping a product that size and weight - but you'll pay the $32 here + shipping since it's not free. I know on the CIY listings I've found it's about $38 w/ tax and prime shipping

AtticusVulpesWhat personally makes this a bit scummy for me is that they decided to rename it to KDB68 so my guess is so some people don't think about looking elsewhere for the tester68 and find other options such as more color options from companies like Nuphy for $20 (unsure about shipping as they are all sold out rn). Like just looking at the pcb it is still called tester68 with the CIY branding, if you wanna call it by something else at least go through the trouble of getting the pcb silk screened with your branding.

Nuphy also has their true custom variants of the CIY68 on for $20 and they ship on the 9th.
Available in 5 custom colours. (Beachstone is sold out)
I ended up ordering 1 of each colour from Nuphy and I'm very impressed with them so far for the price.

LifelongCabooseI grabbed the Nuphy beachstone color variant of the CIY68 last week from their site for $20 as a project build for my daughter, tracking says it should be here tomorrow so I'll post some pics and stuff about it since (as far as I know) these models are all based on the same base PCB that has per key RGB hotswap/bluetooth 5.0/USB dongle 2.4ghz wireless but no ports or wired capability.

Yep - if you don't mind to wait for AE shipping, you can get these cheaper there - but hey, time is money, right?
Can confirm these are totally decent at $32, and a ridiculous steal at $15.
Positives:
Negatives:
- Hot-swap
- 65% layout that isn't weird
- 5-pin support
- Wireless and bluetooth
- Comes with dampening silicone
Negatives:
- Sockets are North-facing
- Plate grips some switches very tightly, depending on manufacturer (JWK, for example)
- No wired connection option
- Batteries not included (uses two AAA's)
- Stabs really need some love but hey for $15 - $30 that's alright

Depending where you are, good chance even if these shipped immediately, AE might still be quicker. I'm out in CA, and almost everything from Drop takes 2 weeks to get to me at the earliest since it originates on the east coast.

DeadeyeDaveAlso this board is purely wireless, there is no USB connection other than the wireless dongle.

As an owner of one of these, it's a Tester68\CIY68 that costs 15$ on taobao, 34 bucks on keebmonkey's site and 28$ on aliexpress.
Also - while it is quite good as modded stock (just relubed the stabs and straightened wires), it doesn't have software (or rather I couldn't find one, would love if you could point me to one) so stock fn mapping :(
I'd say if you want a cheap, wireless 65%, get it on AE.
