Updated the site a bit and added some new pages, actually installed custom fonts and changed styling. Been meaning to do that for years. Also been meaning to get an actual laser ninja domain instead of using my personal 'kennui.com' domain.

+
There's so many awesome platforms and technologies including the pervasive squarespace, but for now, i'm going to keep on truckin. I don't plan on setting up a store as I want to sell to vendors more than selling directly myself. Some pages will still be out of date like the iris page, sorry for that. Anyway, it is what it is. Thanks for reading.

My switch films are now on the treehouse, fulfilled from their warehouse.
 
  
They have a cheap letter postage option (cannot be combined with other items). It can however be combined with other AEBoards items from the warehouse (click on Makers menu then AEBoards).

==== New Keyboard Stands ====
 +
Two new Keyboard Stands have been released, first sold at the Sydney Meetup in Setpember. They are now available at Custom KBD, MTN KBD and Cafege. Please note that Mountain Keyboards have changed their name to MTN KBD.

'''Mini Keyboard Stand'''
  
</div>
+
The Mini Keyboard Stand is designed for 40% keyboards and includes a extra middle piece so you can build it for macropads, numpads and holding up other small objects. Great for holding a phone horizontally, kinda works vertically.
  
 +
It also holds larger 60% boards but heavier ones should go on the larger keyboard stands - their higher back will prevent heavy boards from slipping off.

= September 2020 Update =
 
Hello friend, I apologise for the lack of updates. I will be posting major updates on instagram as well as snippets of what i'm up to or into on my insta story, appreciate the follow - [https://www.instagram.com/laser_ninja_kb instagram.com/laser_ninja_kb].
 
  
I've updated my [[contact]] page to also be an about page. Please direct all enquires to discord. If i've missed your message, feel free to bump it, I won't mind.
+
'''Compact Dual Keyboard Stand'''
  
The lasercave is being upgraded to handle production and order fulfilment better. Space is limited so working out a more efficient floorplan/layout was important, my materials and supplies were all over the place before.
+
The Compact Dual Keyboard Stand is a smaller version of the Dual, which was designed to show off both boards as much as possible. This mean it took up a lot of vertical space. The compact version will suit a wider range of spaces and shelves. There will be 3 and 4 board 'racks' coming soon.
  
Regarding product releases - I will be selling some products on [https://keyboardtreehouse.com/ Keyboard Treehouse], a community focused store created by AEboards. I'll be listing smaller items initially.
 
  
 +
==== New vendor - Cafege ====
 +
My good friend thicthacthok has launched a store featuring Geon and KLC products, keyboard services as well products for desk and setup aesthetics coming in the future. Cafege is located in Sydney. Unfortunately they don't ship to the EU at this time.
  
==== Keyboard Stands ====

• [https://cafege.com.au/ Cafege.com.au]
I've sourced and tested an excellent new material to use as rubber feet (where the keyboard rests). The previous rubber pads I used were good, but I wanted to fine tune the properties, in particular the hardness and to get a custom size made. What I had now is perfect - good grip, high hardness to withstand very heavy boards without budging and slightly larger to give it better overall adhesion. These are aspects I pay close attention to because I want to design the best stand possible (within reason).  
+
  
Hardware will also be changed from M3 to M4 - this will make it easier to grip the square nuts, which I found to be a bit finnicky. They're easy to drop and simply moving up one metric size makes it so much easier to handle, improving the assembly experience.
+
• [https://cafege.com.au/products/laser-ninja-stands Keyboard Stands]
  
Unfortunately, it will likely be exclusively sold with the upcoming Constellation custom keyboard by [https://www.aeboards.com/ AEboards]. More details to come.

'''13th October update:''' Finally got my order of premium frosted acrylic and will be pumping out as many as I can by the weekend. I'll be dropping my stock off at the Keyboard Treehouse HQ to be sold with the Constellation public release. If you bought a constellation earlier in the F&F round, sorry that I didn't get this out in time.  
+
I've also created a new [[WhereToBuy|Where To Buy]] page to help find my products easier.

==== Tented Iris Case (for V4 PCBs) ====
+
<div class="whitebox">
There has been a lot of interest in my tented case design and I have an updated version of my 2018 first release. New and improved hardware has also been sourced, which arrived recently.

I'll be making a list of all the people who have contacted me and offer the case first to those who have waited the longest. Get in [[contact]] if you're interested in a case.
 
  
 +
At long last, dual keyboard stands are available. These are designed to display both boards fully - without the front board obscuring the one behind. Larger or taller boards will unfortunately cover the rear one but anything up to TKL should be fine.
  
'''1st October update:''' Forgot to order screws for the tenting system and china is away for autumn festival. If i'm lucky, I can submit delivery once I receive them at my proxy. This is the last piece of hardware I need before I start taking orders. I've also got some 10mm black, white and frosted acrylic coming in so i'll be able to do those for mid layers.
+
The first units sold out on Switchkeys and they'll be getting a restock in about a week. Custom KBD should also have their listing up soon.
  
A big photo album is being prepared so that all the options are thoroughly shown. Thank you for your patience.
 
  
 +
==== Mini Stands and others ====
 +
The next stand to be released will be a Mini, designed for 40% boards but holds anything up to a 60% (or 5 row boards).
  
'''13th October update:''' Compiling acrylic colour options and photos. High profile design also completed. I'll be making a big chart of renders to show off colour combos because it can be hard to visualise.

These will come with an extra middle piece so it can be built to hold numpads, macropads, artisan cases etc. Width will be 140/70mm.
  
 +
Another concept i'll be bringing out is the horizontal keyboard rack with a 3 and 4 board option. The first 4 board rack went to Caz of Switchkeys, he has too many boards and is out of control.
  
==== Switch Modding Plates ====
 
Frosted acrylic seen in photos is unavailable for the time being, so I will be offering gloss clear at a small discount. These are made to order with info on the [[Switch Testers]] page. [[Contact|Message]] me on discord to order.
 
  
An improved model will be listed on Keyboard Treehouse when I restock frosted acrylic. This has a new feature - the ability to clamp lube tubs to the plate so they don't move around. It supports different sized tubs as well. A simple solution that I hope you'll appreciate.

I haven't announced this or even talked about it anywhere. For the past month+ I have been developing my own switch film.
 
  
My films have a distinct shape to identify them and good compressibility. Other films may be too thin or too thick, leading to loose films or making it difficult/impossible to close the switch. The thickness of my material should be a good middle ground to support most if not all switches.

Pumpkinpad, new stands and vendor

Pumpkinpad Double 1010px.jpg


Pumpkinpad

The Pumpkinpad is a 10 key macropad that lights up brighter than the sun.

It uses a staggered 3-4-3 layout and has hotswap. Just add 10 switches and plug it in.

I intended to have this on sale during the month of October but could not launch until halloween day itself. Cheaper solderable PCBs and plain cases are planned for the future, as well as more themed cases.

Available at Custom KBD or you can order direct from me if you are in Australia, by filling out the google form.

New Keyboard Stands

Two new Keyboard Stands have been released, first sold at the Sydney Meetup in Setpember. They are now available at Custom KBD, MTN KBD and Cafege. Please note that Mountain Keyboards have changed their name to MTN KBD.


Mini Keyboard Stand

The Mini Keyboard Stand is designed for 40% keyboards and includes a extra middle piece so you can build it for macropads, numpads and holding up other small objects. Great for holding a phone horizontally, kinda works vertically.

It also holds larger 60% boards but heavier ones should go on the larger keyboard stands - their higher back will prevent heavy boards from slipping off.


Compact Dual Keyboard Stand

The Compact Dual Keyboard Stand is a smaller version of the Dual, which was designed to show off both boards as much as possible. This mean it took up a lot of vertical space. The compact version will suit a wider range of spaces and shelves. There will be 3 and 4 board 'racks' coming soon.


New vendor - Cafege

My good friend thicthacthok has launched a store featuring Geon and KLC products, keyboard services as well products for desk and setup aesthetics coming in the future. Cafege is located in Sydney. Unfortunately they don't ship to the EU at this time.

I've also created a new Where To Buy page to help find my products easier.


August 2022 - Dual Keyboard Stands

At long last, dual keyboard stands are available. These are designed to display both boards fully - without the front board obscuring the one behind. Larger or taller boards will unfortunately cover the rear one but anything up to TKL should be fine.

The next stand to be released will be a Mini, designed for 40% boards but holds anything up to a 60% (or 5 row boards).

These will come with an extra middle piece so it can be built to hold numpads, macropads, artisan cases etc. Width will be 140/70mm.

May 2022 - New vendors!

NewVendorsMay2022.jpg


Along with Switchkeys, my friends over at Custom KBD, Mountain Keyboards and Keyboard Treehouse are now stocking laser_ninja products.

They each supply the usual keyboard supplies and tools but also develop their own unique products.


Custom KBD - customkbd.com

You'll find a great range of weird and wonderful DIY kits as well as PCBs, keyboard parts and tools. These kits typically require soldering on all the PCB components, which brings down the overall cost significantly.

A great example is the Chalice, a cheap entryway into alice style keyboards, developed by Custom KBD. And if you're short on time or patience, they also offer a build service.

Located in Huntingdale, Melbourne (pickup available).

Keyboard Treehouse / Treehouse Hobbies - treehousehobbies.com

Keyboard Treehouse is run by the boys at AE Boards, who have developed some very cool boards over the years such as the EXT65 and Constellation. The second run of the Constellation is actually available in stock right now if you're after a premium 65% experience.

Their latest keyboard is the Praxis IM - a good entry level board if you want to try out an alice layout but don't want to build the whole board like with Chalice.

Note: Treehouse Hobbies is their new store specifically for the AU market, with all prices in AUD.

Located Alexandria, Sydney (pickup available).

Finally, I'm pleased to be working with Switchkeys, who have stocked my products for the past year. I've been impressed by their organisation, professionalism, and commitment to customer service. I look forward to continuing to work with them.

They run many GBs for keycaps and keyboards but also carry in stock products where they can. Plenty of switches, deskmats and also Keychron Q series boards, which are excellent value (my current main board is a Q1).

Located Balwyn, Melbourne.
