Preorder a keyboard: group buys and preorders for custom keyboards
Here you'll find custom keyboards you can preorder before delivery. Many of them are made as a group buy in a limited run, and not every model is available again after delivery.
How a keyboard preorder works
The product carries the status Preorder or Group Buy, and the buy button reads "Preorder". On the product page, the delivery information shows how long you can order and when delivery is expected. As soon as the keyboard has arrived with us, we ship it from Germany.
What to check before ordering
- Size: 40%, 60%, 75%, TKL or full-size – our guide keyboard sizes & layouts helps you choose.
- Kit or prebuilt: a barebone kit needs switches and keycaps on top, a prebuilt is fully assembled. The product page lists what's included.
- Layout: check whether the board offers ISO-DE or ANSI so your keycaps fit.
Keeping track of status
How far a project has come is shown on the project updates page. Once a board is being manufactured, it also appears under In Production. All preorders, including keycaps and switches, are collected in the preorders category.
More about how a custom keyboard is built, such as mounting, hot-swap or wireless versions, is in the descriptions of the individual boards. In-stock alternatives are under in-stock keyboards.
