I might be interested, depending on price and shipping to Australia. Well the shipping is the biggest problem, might not be worth it if it doubles the cost.

Likewise Good Sir!

Possibly interested, depending on final cost.

Is there a reason (other than aesthetics) why the lube station has to be metal? Wouldn't it be much cheaper to just make it out of a hard plastic? While the metal does look really nice, there isn't a practical reason to make it out of metal. The switches are just going to be placed inside for a short time before being put into a keyboard.

Yeah, I just want a place to help me lube the switches. Don't care the material too.

Yup, I was planning a mod kit. Switch tools + lube station + maybe something else

I'm personally not interested in a lube station but I am very interested in switch tools.

My laser guy doesn't really do plastics (it's harder for him and tolerances aren't as tight) and I don't know of anyone else who would cut it.

This was the prototype. I'm sure they will go into GB soon, since The_Beast should have more time, it being the summer now and all.
