Mechanical Keyboard Marketplace
« on: Mon, 24 August 2020, 18:24:22 »
Hello all! I created a site called Keebswap, a mechanical keyboard marketplace and successor to Agora Mech. Keebswap allows you to buy/sell any mechanical keyboard related items and is free to use for both buyers and sellers.

I know this is a shameless plug, but I’ve been a member of the MK community for years and was growing tired of the buy/sell format of forums. The vision for Keebswap was to create a marketplace that is easy to use and organized while still giving everyone the feeling of community.

The site was built from the ground up to encompass features that I felt reflected how we currently buy and sell in the community.

I’d love for everyone to check it out and ask questions/start a discussion. Thanks a bunch  :)

Ease of use, searchability, organization and automation. Buying is as simple as a couple clicks. Selling is as simple as filling out a form. When your item sells, your stats are reflected real-time. Buyers can also leave reviews on sellers which further establishes credibility. On Keebswap the focus is on the items and I made it as easy as possible to view everything you need to know about an item in the shortest amount of time.

Mostly because I wanted a fresh start and quite a bit of work went into refactoring the platform.  Agora Mech charged a fee, which from the start I never wanted to do.  Keebswap is free and to use and I felt it was necessary to move on from the Agora Mech branding.

I make it standard procedure to thoroughly clean anything that I acquire used, immediately, or certainly before I use it.

I take it apart as far as possible and use the most aggressive cleaning method that I think it can withstand.


“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
