AtticusVulpesGot a link for one? Even on ali it's showing ~$30. Not that I don't believe you, this was originally $15-20 on Keebmonkey a few months ago. Just want to get one myself to store some switches in
Mickifreei bought the KBM68 and it’s the exact same thing, there’s a markup because of shipping and it totals out to about $35 but it’s much faster than AliExpress. I would have saved the few bucks and just waited buying from Ali but your choice
edit: search up tester68 on aliexpress and it’ll show up
KeebsNoobThanks. Actually looked up tester68 when I made the original comment but saw that it's roughly ~$30 with shipping included. Was hoping the poster had a link to one that was ~$25 shipped or less. Funnily enough, if I went with Ali, I'd not only save money, but I'd most likely get it faster than Massdrop even if Massdrop shipped immediately lol.
MickifreeWhen I looked, I can’t find anything for under $30 anyway, only way for that to happen is if you moved to China
but this whole is just a bunch of marketing and just skip all this noise and go straight to Ali
DarthbagginsAnd it comes out to $32 after shipping… it does not cost $10 to ship that board so he includes costs in shipping so it appears cheaper on his site
KeebsNoobI 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.
