Why it matters
A group buy for a keycap set that will never run again closing in a week, a vendor failure with a refund deadline, an in-stock drop of a board that sold out for two years, a sale at the vendor the member already orders from, or a tariff change that adds $40 to a kit are each worth the membership.
Who it is for
- The million keyboard hobbyists in the United States, from a first custom build to a collection of forty boards.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Wednesday 14:00 UTC. Vendors open group buys and in-stock drops mid-week and interest checks run all week

Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Mechanical Keyboard & Group Buy WatchTrack the mechanical keyboard hobby for US enthusiasts. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: group buy openings, deadlines and pricing for keyboards, keycap sets and switches at Drop, NovelKeys, CannonKeys, Omnitype, Keebmonkey, KBDfans, Mode, Wuque, Keychron, Qwertykeys, Neo, Kinetic Labs, Divinikey, Dangkeebs, Ringer Keys, Mekibo and Oblotzky; in-stock drops and restocks of boards that historically sell out; group buy delays, refund announcements and vendor failures with status; new switch and keyboard releases from Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, JWK, HMX, TTC, Wooting, Keychron, Monsgeek and Luminkey; keycap profile and manufacturer news at GMK, Signature Plastics, PBTfans and Osume; meetup and convention dates; vendor sales of 20 percent or more; QMK, VIA and firmware changes affecting common boards; tariff and shipping cost changes; and clone and counterfeit alerts. Prefer vendor and maker announcements, group buy pages, convention organizers and established keyboard community reporting; ignore unverified rumors. Put the product or vendor first in the title with the price and the deadline. Use high severity for a group buy closing within 7 days for a set unlikely to run again, a vendor failure with a refund deadline, or an in-stock drop of a board sold out for a year. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, the deadline, where to order, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
