Updated our blog post to reflect this morning's update that we stand at a 145% tariff on goods imported from China, not 125%. shop.keyboard.io/blogs/news/a... At this point, I'm considering writing tooling to automate future updates to this post.

You know what? Today feels like an excellent day for a sale. Just because. 10% off EVERYTHING on shop.keyboard.io. And $50 off the Model 100, our gorgeous ergonomic keyboard with a milled hardwood enclosure. Keyboards ship free to the US (at least until tariffs kick in on May 2.)

I expect to be getting a lot of emails like this soon. This one is from @s.ly and @keyboard.io about the tariffs. Such a pointless destruction of US small businesses.

To our US customers:

Yesterday, the Trump Administration announced that they will be ending the de minimis exemption for all shipments from Hong Kong and China on May 2. They also raised the minimum import tax on products made in China or Hong Kong to 54% of the sale price.
While we design our keyboards in the US, like most consumer electronics companies we manufacture our products in southern China. These new rules will drastically increase how much it costs you to buy our products.

(1) If you've been considering buying anything we make, now is the time.

According to the new policy, you will owe a 54% import tax on any package from Keyboardio that arrives after May 1. Once the de minimis rule is gone, no sale we can offer will ever make the Model 100 or Atreus as inexpensive as it is today.

Starting in May, US customers will be charged $188 in new taxes (tariffs) on a Model 100 + additional customs clearance fees. The new US taxes on the Atreus will be $80 + additional customs clearance fees.

We're really proud of these keyboards—we designed them to be the most comfortable tools to help you be productive, and to help you enjoy the experience of typing. We think they're worth the investment. We don't think a 54% tax is reasonable.

How exciting, I'm switching from my Drop + OLKB Planck keyboard to the Preonic by @keyboard.io

To celebrate the temporary pause in the US's new import duty collection regime, Keyboardio is having a site-wide 10% off sale. Now is an excellent time to buy a new keyboard. shop.keyboard.io

Just received my Atreus from @keyboard.io. Super nerdy cool. Light and portable. Current setup should work well with #emacs.

Now that sales are closed and Jesse's back from China, we've started the purchasing for the Box of Crap. Since we've never done the purchasing remotely before, we're taking things a little bit slowly, only buying a few things at a time and having them shipped to our fulfillment center.

We're at the injection molding factory today for the 'T1' injection mold test. We're also putting together some options for just how transparent to make the plastic enclosure.
