Keebcast 43 - Community Keeb Showcase (Video Version Recommended)

2021-06-1501:45:05

This week we did something very different for Keebcast! We had viewers submit pictures of their keyboards in Alex's Discord server. We had so many submissions that we are going to have to do another part to this or make this a regular segment of Keebcast! Watch the video by searching "Keebcast" on YouTube or going to the following link: https://youtu.be/E5Yccc-p6-E Thank you guys for all of the submissions and thank you for watching and listening to us ramble about keyboards! Hope you have a fantastic week! - Chase

Keebcast 42 - Flipping, Fakes, and Fan Art

2021-05-2701:29:28

This week on Keebcast we decided to talk about some topics that all of us feel very passionate about. Resellers are inevitable in a market where exclusivity and limited quantities exist. Our hope is that we can educate people on how flipping is ultimately taking away from those who would have purchased the product at retail cost. We also talk about fake products within the industry in hopes that people understand that when they purchase fake keycap sets or even fake artisan keycaps, they are truly hurting the designer of the set at the end of the day. Thank you all so much for listening to the 3 of us ramble on and thank you to those of you who were able to make it to the live show! Have a fantastic week! - Chase
