Update 10/29/24 - Today I became aware of the issues surrounding Space Cables' groupbuys for Classic Beige and Dandy (see this Reddit thread for more info (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1g6q8zn/october_update_space_cables_nk_x_keycult/)) and have removed links to the cable collab I had with them from the original post.
I was previously unaware of that situation, but cannot in good faith recommend a product from Space Cables until Ragan can make customers of those groupbuys whole.
