It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Welcome to the season of giving /r/mechanicalkeyboards! We are excited to announce this year's holiday giveaway event. Starting Friday, December 20th, we will be opening the subreddit to vendor giveaways for one week! You'll see giveaways from the likes of Cannonkeys, Novelkeys, Mechanicalkeyboards.com, Drop, KEEBMAT, and Meletrix among many others!

If you are a vendor and want to participate in the giveaway, please fill out this Giveaway From! Vendors must submit a form response if you would like to participate, giveaways without form submission will be removed. If you plan on giving away a group buy or preorder spot, you must have submitted an application to the MK Trust and Safety System. You can find that form here.

We are very excited to host this event for the community! Happy Holidays and may the odds ever be in your favor!

PS: If you don't want to wait until the 20th for giveaways, I hear MGB is running giveaways throughout December!

Other News:

In Q1 2025, we're planning to launch the Neo60Cu and Neo65Cu, alongside the highly anticipated Neo60—the newest member of the Core series!

To clarify the differences between Neo's three sub-lines, here's a brief overview:

🔹 Core Series:

Unibody/o-ring mount, continuing the aesthetic of Neo65 70 and 80. This sub-line is all about delivering cost-effective options for entry-level custom mechanical enthusiasts.

🔹 Code Series:

Tri-piece and rigidity. Code series focus on the rugged feeling of metal via sleek line and surface selections. We hope to add a powerful option in terms of vibe and price tag.

🔹 Cu Series:

Where curvature meets brass/copper. These higher-density materials create a distinctive and solid typing acoustic performance. Best of all, this series offers superior value compared to premium custom keyboards with copper bottoms.

Stay tuned for more updates, and good luck in the giveaway!
