Intro
Hello keyboard friends, this is Velocifire. We took over this project from DM studio and we are delighted to have the opportunity to share the newest information of this keyboard with you.

Designs
Our vision for the Sisyphus 65 was to create a visually appealing keyboard that draws inspiration from the absurdist tale of Sisyphus, a well-known ancient Greek myth. Our aim was to achieve a sophisticated design that is easily recognizable due to its uniqueness. To pay homage to the dystopian hero, we have incorporated contoured lines on the keyboard that depict the hill and the boulder. The PVD stainless steel column represents the weight of the boulder, while the straight lines on the main part of the case top represent the hill. Moreover, we have included the Morse code "C L I M B" on the top of the keyboard, a word that is used repeatedly in the Sisyphus story. Additionally, we have used dichroic anodizing on the front of the keyboard and the metal badge to add to its charm and character.
Overall, we are confident that the Sisyphus 65 will capture your imagination and leave you enchanted with its exquisite design and attention to detail.

New Keyboard Version
Just as Sisyphus was condemned to endlessly push a boulder up a hill, designers must continue to refine and improve their creations, never truly reaching a final destination. The SE version of our keyboard embodies this eternal pursuit of excellence.

What is the difference between the SE version and the standard version?

1. The default cylinder weight of the SE version is a black crack style not PVD.

2. The chamfers around the keyboard case of the SE version are processed into gold or silver via Dual-color Anodized process, which is more noble and elegant, and visually improved.

Yeah no, mkb is definitely worse than candykeys (not that they’re better by much, both should be avoided at all costs imo)

Well to keep this short you can take a look at this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/131s5id/mykeyboard_fails_to_deliver_refunds_delayed_gmk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

And if you go into their discord server you can see 2 days ago in the news channel they finally admitted they have cashflow issues (which many of us already had suspected but now it’s confirmed).

So after knowing all this, if you still feel comfortable running your project with them I guess it’s your choice but I don’t trust them nor feel comfortable with giving them my money (especially regarding group buys, since they’re know for not paying invoices and delaying the whole project) so I choose to stick only with whatever eloquentclicks and keygem run with.
