The Wares

SALE PENDING: CTRL, Zealios, and HyperX in bundle

(1) $140 Drop CTRL Low Profile in Space Grey (TKL): Like new. Pic 1, Pic 2. Great board, I LOVE IT – bought two in December. I am literally daily driving one at the office with these exact modifications, but kept this one for home use. Over 3 months at home, I’d estimate it’s seen the equivalence of 5 days in the office. Also, it has small scratches from pulling switches for hotswap – common to every hotswap keyboard unless it’s never had switches pulled :)

  • Lubed & clipped genuine Cherry stabilizers with lubed band-aid modification on PCB; CTRL uses plate-mount stabilizers
  • Custom cut (case & PCB) neoprene foam
  • Custom flashed with QMK matthewrobo build – base layer, function layer, caps lock layer. REALLY convenient for on-the-fly modification to RGB colors, and includes neat reactive modes (video in action); can flash back to default if desired
  • Includes original accessories/box: switch puller, magnetic feet, keycap puller, and grey USB-C cable
    • Note 1: $5 discount if you let me keep the USB-C cable – I’m really not into the coiled/aviator cable scene
    • Note 2: $10 discount if you bundle with the Zealios. If using together, I recommend changing out the space bar switch for a T1 – can include for free. I preferred the springiness on the upstroke.
    • Note 3: $5 discount if you bundle with key caps

(2) $80 Zealios 62g tactile switches (87 count): Using in CTRL. See home usage note above. I might have a couple switches with bent pins I can throw in for free.

  • 5 pin clipped to 3 pin for hotswap
  • Lubed with Krytox 205g0 – LIGHTLY lubed to retain maximum tactility and responsiveness on upstroke. The stem legs and the leaf were NOT lubed. I’m a bit OCD so I can confirm excellent lube consistency across all switches.
    • Note: If you want these filmed, I might have some Deskeys on hand – bring it up in PM and we can discuss possibilities and price change

(3) $15 Kingston Hyper X PBT pudding key caps: barely used black pudding key caps. I quickly found I preferred shine-through legends over pudding. I’m using white/blue Drop Skylights on my daily driver.

  • Shipping in a bag, not trays

(4) SOLD $35 Drop Artifact Bloom PBT BoW key caps: barely used white key caps. I quickly found I preferred bolder colors and moved to white/blue Drop Skylights on my daily driver.

  • Shipping in a bag, not trays

Can send additional pics upon request!

​

Extra note for beginners: For what it’s worth, I’m willing to support mechanical keyboard introductory conversations to any buyers via Discord – ask me for my tag in the PM. I started in December and it has been a bit intimidating even with a friend to help me along the way. Information is readily accessible, but it’s haphazardly located, and conflicting opinions tend to muddy the waters.

​

Cheers, friends!

Thanks!

Yeah, don't get me wrong. It's fun to just blindly wade into the waters to some extent, but I'd also like to think a little informed decision-making can save you some major cash LOL.
