Massdrop: blue barebones 94.99 + 8.75 = 103.74 Massdrop: red barebones 100.99 + 8.75 = 109.74
WASD: blue barebones 100.00 + 12.69 = 112.69 WASD: red barebones 110.00 + 12.69 = 122.69 WASD: brown barebones 105.00 + 12.69 = 117.69 WASD: silent red barebones 115.00 + 12.69 = 127.69
blue barebones savings = 8.95 red barebones savings = 12.95 brown barebones savings = CANNOT HAVE HERE silent red barebones savings = WHY NOT MASSDROP/WASD
And just for fun, let's take a look at getting them with keycaps (BTW what I'm actually interested in is getting a genuine Dvorak for once; haven't heard about terrible WASD keycaps but if you have a link please share the info):
Massdrop: blue blanks 139.99 + 8.75 = 148.74 WASD: blue blanks 150.00 + 12.69 = 162.69 blue blanks savings = 13.95
Does it come with a warranty if purchased here either?
