BuddyOG Facts

Commissions Shipping

Four to eight weeks, never nine months unless bespoke finishes are involved and changes are made half-way. After 9 months one buyer of a bespoke build started spewing anti-America hatred. Despite PayPal forcing the return he still went on to harass me in petty ways and started rumors after posting a thread complaining I ghosted him, lies meant to taint my reputation.

Refunds

Ask, done; same day.

My uncredited inventions

1. Modification guide is the premier and first resource for topre modifications.
2. Plate-housing gasket; Deskeys/EC clones all stole it, now a standard mod.
   
3. Spring crunch fix with lubed pcb or greased conical springs (meme turned standard).
4. Topre o-rings, a staple and universal mod.
   

5. Syringe-packed 206g2-now every brand sells it; PFU even lubed the RC1 spacebar my way.

Hate origin

Said Ryan Norbauer’s mixing of keyboards and polyamorous talk isn’t kid-safe for nor appropriate for the keyboard community and discord servers. In response they burned my $1,800 Urushi HHKB set on camera. Taeha Types mocked my $1800 "mental health donation" from the burner of the urushi set, money meant for a second set of Urushi.

The exile

My mods forked my Discord into Conical in 2021. Re-admit vote: 49–52, failed. Permanent ban. Two-year hate thread festered after. EC vendors, like Treehouse, OmniType, pre-banned me from their discords. Banned from other EC vendors servers such as CleverKeebs, Sho, Cipulot, etc. Banned from mechmarket discord and reddit. Banned from all forums-Keebtalk, MechMarket, DeskAuthority.
