Cafege x 4GT Stacked Acrylic Sabre

[IC Form] (https://forms.gle/kUq5VxQYqyauW26x7)   [Discord] (https://discord.gg/HUjzjVybBh)

Cafege is proud to introduce their collaboration with 4GT, the organisation responsible for the Sabre Ergo TKL. This is basically copium for those that wanted the Aluminium version of the Sabre but couldn't. The Sabre provides the comfort of the ergonomic keyboard while retaining the usefulness of a larger layout size. The Acrylic Sabre currently has 3 versions in the interest check but will be reduced to 2 once the IC period ends. All relevant details can be found both in this post and in the IC form.

- Acrylic Case

Price may vary slightly depending on exchange rates and supply but, we hope to keep the price within the stated range.

If not a Canadian vendor, at least a US vendor that can also ship to Canada
