| + | '''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 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 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.
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).
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.

May 2022 - New vendors!
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).
Mountain Keyboards - mountainkeyboards.com
Mountain Keyboards is new on the vendor scene however they've been in the hobby for a quite while. Sustainability is an important value, so all their packaging is recyclable or compostable.
Their flagship product is the Lets Tango, a CNCd aluminium keyboard brought to market as an in stock ready to ship keyboard.
Located in Greystanes, Sydney (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).
Switchkeys - switchkeys.com.au
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.
