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.
Not really. Some vendors and independent makers are just struggling because business has slowed down substantially since covid, during which they bought/produced ridiculous amount of products that shipped to them after most short-time hobbyists have already moved on.
Reliable vendors and makers are still around. You just can’t trust someone you’ve never heard of with hundreds of dollars with a promise of delivering your product in 2 or so years, this was never the case and the community has only recently seen the consequences of it.
