https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyuC7x5wrY4Hey keyboard enthusiasts,
We are Phase Studio. Two designers in Toronto, looking to run a keyboard group buy. We've gotten lots of responses from r/MechanicalKeyboards and r/Mechmarket and by popular request, we are now posting here.
To avoid breaking TOS, not all renders and links will be found in this thread. If I'm breaking TOS at any point please let me know and I will correct it. I'm trying to follow as best as I can. Updates
