I feel compelled to share my experience with the community regarding MyKeyboard.eu. I am Manoli Visuals/CallMeManoli, the creator of the keycap set GMK Evil Eye. MyKeyboard.eu was my EU vendor for the set, and despite several emails and discord messages over the last four months, mykeyboard.eu owes me several hundred dollars in payment. Initially, communication was sporadic, but now they have gone completely silent for over two months, ignoring my emails and Discord messages.
To add on to this, mykeyboard.eu sponsored a prize on my twitch stream featuring a Evil Eye hibi keycap, but they have failed to send the prize to the winner, despite multiple requests. At this point, it seems unlikely that I will ever receive the owed payment and the winner will not be receiving their prize.
Consider this a cautionary tale for people who are considering collaborating or giving them service. I am happy to answer any questions on this matter to make sure no one else is taken advantage of in the future.
No, it’s not shadier. It just became clear to everyone that many vendors ran their business like a ponzi scheme and used new money to pay for old orders… The issue is that the hobby contracted quite a bit and new orders are much smaller than old orders, so now those vendors can’t pay their invoices any more. Like any ponzi scheme, the houses of cards are collapsing.
