Hi, looking for BoW/Dark-Grey-oW Modifiers/Nav/Arrows plus (Print/Lock/Pause), along with ALL non-numeric number-pad keys (with × and ÷ instead of * and /). SA Profile ABS Double-Shot Not MT3 [I don't like the typeface as well as MiTo/SPK] Not off-white [unless you could also point me to a set of ASCII BoW Alphas] As a bonus, I am looking for a "HYPER" key and a "LINE FEED" key; the former I think I can find; the latter is almost a myth except for the photographs of archaic keyboards. [if an ivory-coloured set of MiTo/SPK SA profile (double-shot, natch) were to appear, with ASCII Alphas and × and ÷, I'd invest in it.]

Does anyone know when the next batch of Preonic keebs are coming out? I suppose it would be version 4. I'd like to see one with a black POM top plate. Having QMK preloaded on the PCB would be nice too.

My mechanical keyboard journey started when I fell into the rabbit hole around August 2020. Since then, I have tested over forty different switches, built or modified over twenty keyboards, and experimented with many different layouts. I usually carry a mechanical keyboard with me, and have built keyboards for friends and family members. Many consider mechanical keyboards superior to normal membrane keyboards due to their feel, sound, looks, layout options, software, and various customization options. While many swear by mechanical keyboards, they are expensive, and the landscape of mechanical keyboards is confusing and hard to navigate. That said, if you do decide to look into and possibly build one, here is some more information to guide you through the rabbit hole. The first thing you will probably notice while looking through videos about mechanical keyboards is the sound. Many people build their custom keyboards with sound in mind, and because of this there are endless jargon...
