Hi guys, a question, I wanted to know, how do you find keyboard and Keycap cases/kits? Do you use a list/site? I used to use keeb-finder.com, but I was told it's outdated, so I wanted to figure out what the other ways are... Thanks so much

Moet of the time I just frequent discord servers. Especially in the Netherlands the community is mega helpful. Yesterday the lot helped me to find a nice matching keycap set for my green mode envoy. You could also try to find more shops and subscribe to their newsletters and update lists!

Discord. theres pretty much a server for every region, brand, manu, switch niche (Topre, Alps, Low Profile, etc), and even form factors like the 40% discord server

Hi, ok, how do you find these discord servers?

This might also help! It’s an international vendor list. As for discord servers I just googled my country and mechanical keyboard discord. Pretty much found a server within minutes!

Google it. After some online and You Tube browsing I realized I wanted a discontinued Heavy Grail HHKB board… my Google Search turned up this board in the 2nd hand market on PoshMark, of all places, a female used goods fashion site. I now have the board, and it is awesome. I then realized I wanted all white Topre key caps, I ordered a blank set from the Fujitsu manufacturer, but I also wanted a printed set and they were sold out. I then found a new set on eBay, so they are en route to me from Japan. In summary, web searches are a great way to track down what you want/need across a variety of sites quickly and cost effectively.
