    2021/02/21 update 2 - new GB price
    More

2021/02/21 update 1 - cost breakdown
More

Hey guys, first of all, we are really really grateful for all the upvotes and support! To be super transparent here:

  1. keebs.io discovers talented indie keeb designers and brings their products to international market at a fair price. We are officially authorized by the designers we partner with to sell abroad. You can buy our products either on Taobao or keebs.io.
  2. To address the comments regarding Taobao price. Before opening IC internationally, we did a trial run in China. $40 was the deposit required to join the GB and eventually the price was set at about $80. We ended up breaking even. Once the trial run has ended we kept getting requests to go for a second run internationally, so here we are doing a global GB.
  3. Based on our trial in China, when going internationally we had to set the price to $150 to account for international shipping, customs, tax, storage, credit card transaction fee, insurance, foreign currency exchange fee. $150 = $80 (trial run price) + $40 (shipping, customs, tax) + $10 ( credit card transaction fee, insurance, foreign currency exchange fee) + $20 (keebs.io markup)
    We want to apologize for the confusion and please keep the feedback and questions coming! We will try our best to answer them!

FAQ

  1. What is JDA Profile?
    More

JDA is slightly higher than Cherry, roughly the same as OEM, and nowhere close to SA.
Also, based on our experience, the curve fits the fingers better. Silky texture.
We know that it’s a rather new profile indeed, but overall we are really happy with the quality and we are very excited to share it with you all!

  • Height similar to OEM
  • Sculpted
  • Spherical Top
