KBDfans
KBDfans is one of the largest custom keyboard vendors and also sells a great deal under its own name, from cases and PCBs to foam and tools. For many people it is the single shop where a whole build can be bought at once.

- Known for
- Range. Cases, plates, PCBs, switches, keycaps, stabilizers, lube and tools in one place, plus its own Tofu case line.
- Worth knowing
- Being both vendor and house brand means some products carry its name without it being clear who made them, and specifications on listings are sometimes thin. Shipping from China is the norm.
- Who it suits
- Someone assembling a first custom build who would rather not order from six places.
- Availability
- Widely stocked
- Relationships
- Sells its own house-brand products alongside other manufacturers' goods, which is why its type is both.

60%Hot-swap
A 60% case that can be built as a top mount or a PCB gasket mount, which is unusual, since most cases commit to one and make you buy a second case to hear the other. Both shops list the same menu: aluminum, copper or stainless steel bottom case, five plate materials, and four PCBs covering solder, wired hot-swap, dual mode hot-swap and Hall effect, with a 9 degree typing angle throughout. Connectivity is blank because both listings call the wireless PCB dual mode without once naming the radio. Price is blank too, since the figures shown are configurator starting points rather than the cost of a finished board, and no switches or keycaps are included unless you add them.

OSAPBT≈ $80
Doubleshot PBT in KBDfans' OSA profile, which the listing names without describing, so the sculpted field is blank rather than guessed. PBT and doubleshot together mean the legends are molded in and the surface should stay matte, the pair of properties that keeps a set looking new longest. This is an in-stock single-purchase listing at one price, not a group buy split across kits, so the eighty dollars covers the whole set as sold. No kit breakdown is given, so what layouts it reaches is not stated.

Other≈ $7
A cork pad cut to keyboard footprints, from seven dollars fifty, that sits under the board to stop it coupling into a hard desk. Cork does damp vibration, and 4mm is enough to hear on a bare wooden or glass surface. On a desk that already has a cloth mat the difference is much smaller, and a folded deskmat gets you most of it for nothing. Buy it for the tidier look as much as the sound.

Lube station≈ $32
A tray that holds housings, stems and springs in rows so you can lube a batch without losing parts, bundled with a stem holder, tweezers and two brushes for thirty three dollars. It makes a session of ninety switches noticeably less annoying. It is also entirely optional: an ice cube tray, a cheap paintbrush and a pair of tweezers do the same job for a few dollars, which is what most people start with.

Brushe≈ $4
A soft bristled brush for sweeping dust and hair out from between keycaps without scratching them. Four dollars. Worth being clear about what it is not: the bristles are far too broad for applying lube to a switch stem, so this does not replace a liner brush. It is a dusting tool. Any soft cosmetic or paint brush of a similar width does the identical job for about the same money.

Wrist rest
A stone wrist rest is a palm rest rather than a support: it brings the heel of your hand up to the height of the keyboard's front edge so the wrist is not bent back. KBDfans gives 296 x 80 x 20 mm for the 60% size, 320 x 80 x 20 mm for 65% and 75%, and 360 x 80 x 20 mm for 80%, and ships rubber feet with it. The price is blank because it changes with size, and no package weight is listed for the 80% version. The shop also notes that the stone's pattern will not match the photographs.

Switch film
Films are thin shims that sit between a switch's top and bottom housing and take up the slack that lets the housing rattle. KBDfans lists these as 130 per pack, 0.15mm polycarbonate, fitting most Cherry and Gateron switches but not low profile or BOX types. The price is left blank because the only variant in the source data is a single color at one dollar, which does not clearly correspond to the multi-type pack the listing describes.
