I'd love to have one of these but they're not made anymore. Anyone still making / selling them?

Hi, please see the rules around BST. I'm aware though that the alternative listed is still /r/mechmarket on reddit which you may not wish to use. I would suggest asking in relevant community discords like the low-profile keyboards discord or regional ones for where you live as many of these have trading channels.

  • using Discord (with its blatant disregard for privacy) is just as problematic (if not more so) as going back to Reddit
  • OP’s request could just as easily be interpreted as asking for vendor recommendation
    • if so, maybe an addendum to the B/S/T rule to indicate people asking need to clarify wording?

Yeah, I'm aware that Discord isn't great either but there really aren't any other marketplaces for direct trades between users and allowing them here would open the door too easily to scammers. Whilst it's not like we'd accept liability for bad trades, we'd also not want to foster a community where that's a common occurrence. So really you want something like a reputation bot, etc. For this like mechmarket has. There just isn't an open and distributed place where this community exists enough for buyers and sellers to find each other.

It could not be a vendor recommendation question, since no vendors carry the gergoplex and it's not open source. It's definitely trying to solicit an aftermarket sale. Which is understandable, but just not something we want to encourage and moderate here.

As I just wrote, I didn't intend this to be a trade. I wasn't sure whether Gergoplex was still in production or not, so I was trying to find vendors that might still have PCBs. Haven't found anything which makes sense since it appears it's not on production.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

This subreddit is not a marketplace, please post on r/mechmarket or other relevant marketplace.
