We’re excited to share with you Keebfront's 2nd switch in the 'Villainy' collection lineup.
Inspired by a vintage comic book villain – we felt this hobby needed some organized crime to stir things up.

With our 1st project (Doom switch (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=117544.0)), we were the first to introduce HDPE into the hobby, so this time around we're bringing back that HDPE goodness for the top housing and have combined it with PBT material for the bottom housing - making us the FIRST EVER switch to present this combination! Lastly, the switch will come hand lubed from the factory. No modding or filming needed, just throw them in your keeb and enjoy.

Second round of inventory will be arrive early October, in-stock.

Each switch released in the series will include a one-of-a-kind comicbook art illustration packaging
to further bring out the villainy in the switch (and possibly the villain in you).

A compliment accessory to the Villainy series - Bigwig switch, the packaging design was transferred over to deskmat.
The goal is that we can receive enough feedback to take into production alongside the Doom switch.
