Hello from San Francisco, Cali

[trvrsna]

I've always liked mechanical keyboards but now I've finally gave in and built my own and I love it. Now I'm deep in the hole of the keyboard realm and building a second keyboard that I don't even need.

Something I'm really interested in is the Poly carbonate Rukia with the Alice layout. I saw a GB in a thread but then I realized that it was posted a year ago. Any word on when the next group buy will come out and how do people even get word on when these group buys come out?

Also, should I go to ask questions like these? I can't find threads that are for questions.

And on the switches, some are really popular and sell out really fast, where should I go to be updated for when they come out so I can cop some?

Hi!

What keyboards have you built so far? Have you found a specific layout that you like? 

Regarding the Alice layout I have no idea, I haven't seen any pure clone that is up for GB soon, but here you have some similar projects that are in progress that I just found by looking in the forum (there's probably more):

Regarding where to find IC/GB, I think the forums here are quite good, and then you can also check you this post:

Here you have some links to GB pages, furthermore r/mechgroupbuys usually posts the large ones.
