I’d love to have one of these but they’re not made anymore. Anyone still making / selling them?

    Hi, please see the rules around BST. I’m aware though that the alternative listed is still /r/mechmarket on reddit which you may not wish to use. I would suggest asking in relevant community discords like the low-profile keyboards discord or regional ones for where you live as many of these have trading channels.

      This was a poor post on my part. I was looking for a vendor that might still be selling these (not for a private trade like mechmarket). Was also curious about alternatives to the Gergoplex since it’s not longer in production AFAIK. The thumb cluster on it is really unique, so while I know there are similar sizes boards out there I was really looking specifically for this board.

        Ah, then disregard. Poorly worded as you say, but okay.

        Anyway other than the open source promicro-based homage that broom made (as linked by @[email protected]). Germ is no longer around in the community/Internet so it’s not being made or sold anymore, indeed. It was a closed design so the only hope would be for a clone or something similar.

      • using Discord (with its blatant disregard for privacy) is just as problematic (if not more so) as going back to Reddit
      • OP’s request could just as easily be interpreted as asking for vendor recommendation
        • if so, maybe an addendum to the B/S/T rule to indicate people asking need to clarify wording?
