In case you missed it, 2023 is somehow HALFWAY THROUGH. How is this possible and why was I not informed until I checked to write this intro. Not that anyone needs to tell me that time is marching on, it is forever, and ever. If life was a giant thing, it’d be that giant boulder that chases Indiana Jones in Raiders and in this case, I’m Indy… only I get crushed under the weight of it all. Brutal.
Also, YESYESYESYES keyboard updates! SO much stuff this month, so prepare yourself for excessive waffle and (very very) bad jokes, or the attempt at them.
We're a real store! In Sunshine too (no you won't get stabbed)
Don't be afraid, you can definitely bring your board in for us to roast/look at/help you with. You can see all of our in stock products live in person! Test them, try them and see if the colours match your board or vibe.
Open at 2/77 Hampshire Road, Sunshine on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10-1 and Saturday 9:30-2. Check IG and Discord for up to date opening times each day in case of staffing issues. For real, nobody has been stabbed, at least not while the store was open. But we have seen a head on crash and a crazy dude sleeping in the middle of Hampshire road. What a time, Sunshine, what a time.
ITS HAMMER TIME!
Y’all know how much I dig puns, Hammer is a phenomenal manufacture and we’ve lined up some heat for you guys!
Two massive Group Buys dropped on Sunday, 18th June and are absolutely unmissable. CRP-X - Parallel Worlds, new profile, excellent compatibility and colourways. Deadline x Hammer - HMC PBT is a winner from our mates at Deadline in a sporty beige/off white/cream thing. Lovely. More below.
Re 6.5 V2 - could be the best 65% board ever? 
Priced nice, premium and foamless. The RE6.5 V2 from Nurox is the business, a board for true enthusiasts who love subtle design features and excellent sounding boards.
Prototype is at the ALLCAPS Shop in Sunshine if you want to try it yourself before committing! TACTILE typing test with Holy Pandas is up live on IG and the linear test will be live in the next day or so pals. Trust, this is a very, very nice board.

MOCHI40 UPDATE
I’m leaving the Mochi Update here for those that may have missed it. We are still working with FedEx AU and Aidan to resolve the situation, progress is unfortunately slow.
Still working through issues with FedEx
Of the units we have received, a significant number have been damaged by the carrier during shipment. The cases were clearly damaged in transit at the fault of the carrier. At the moment, we are still working closely with them to obtain compensation based on their poor handling of the shipment. Hoping this process is complete by 30th. Remaining units are currently with Aidan and are queued for re-coating.
A-Stock
We have completed shipping A-Stock models. B/C stock are pending resolution at the moment.
CONTAINER CONTENTS
Here is the next container’s contents. These are the boxes of things that are currently sitting inside a large metal box that is sitting on a ship somewhere between China and Melbourne.
STATUS: On a barge somewhere
ETA: 21st June
Contents:
- Klash Of the Kaiju Mats
- Deadline Studio Retro66 In Stock Orders
- DMK Rubber + Mats
- Others…
CURRENT GROUP BUYS & PRE-ORDERS
Things that you could possibly buy later that will ship even later. Limited run, one time only releases.
Hammer & BUGER - CRP Parallel Worlds live through July 8th
Absolute monsters of the game Hammer & BUGER link up again, this time for a new profile - CRP-X. The classic red, green, and blue legend colors usually seen on the 1980s/90s keyboard are re-colored to give a new trendy feel while maintaining the familiar retro flavour.
Deadline x Hammer Works - HMC PBT live through July 8th
Deadline Studio is becoming a staple amongst keyboard enthusiasts, and for good reason. HAMMER WORKS need no introduction. Presenting the HMC PBT keycap set collaboration.
Two heavyweights of the game collide in a wonderfully coloured, neutral keycap set that's affordable and aesthetic. Choose your child kits, alphas and artisans to build the beige-y cream-y keycap set of your dreams.
PBTFans Shubarashi
You like purple? We all like purple. You like cute things? We do too. Shubarashi is on the way! Pre-order to avoid disappointment.
DMK Jade live through July 1st
The name of these keycaps comes from the two different ancient Chinese terms for jade. These beautiful, transparent keycaps feature the lovely pastel green colourway, white legend and steeze for days.
DMK Red Velvet live through June 20
Red Velvet cake, but in keycap form. Just look at those rich burgundy’s and soft creams. YOU KNOW it’s delicious and pretty.
Honeydew Switches - EXTENDED through June 29th!
Honeydews, designed by local YXXX are a TX spring’d, milky housing’d banger of a short pole switches. HPE will be used on both the top and bottom housings. HPE provides a softer or ‘less-aggressive’ typing experience than current PC/nylon offerings whilst still maintaining that clacky sound profile that so many of us seek.
RESTOCKS & RE-RESTOCKS
Not much has restocked this month as we are preparing for a massive influx of pre-order and group buy stuffs to arrive from our forwarders.
Krytox Lubricants
IN. STOCK.
PFTE Oil
IN STOCK
Moyu.Studio Hades
Arrived, in stock and ready to party.
Keyboard Parts
O-rings (60/65), Daughterboards and plates.
NEW PRODUCTS, EXTRAS IN-STOCK
Everything coming in is from a pre-order or Group Buy, which is incredible. Can’t wait to get these things into your hands. But, all these things coming in has been mega distracting on stocking up on in-stock bangers.
Panda Mats
D-d-d-d-dropping this week. Keep your eyes peeled my friends. Pandas are mad, probably the best/coolest. Mats come in two colourways and are filled with excellent facts about pandas. Also, pandas.
Lykko Studio Deskmats
We sourced you guys the BEST deskmats of the year, hands down - Lykko Studio do no disappoint (ever). Very few left in stock, cop cop or miss out (potentially forever).
UPCOMING STUFF & THINGS
PBTFans Vior - INCOMING BANGER ALERT
Our boy PJ of PBTFans Pyga fame has crushed it once more. Not sure when we’re dropping but please keep your ears to the ground (not literally Ofc) as we’re sure that this one will POP.
Violetta (damn, girl)
Do yourself a favour and get yourself hyped for this: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=119713.0
FOR REAL this is it. I promise
Yours forever,
JC
