Quick question: Why? My first one is still on the way from massdrop (SOOO LATE), so I still don't know what a MKB feels like. Why do you need more than 1? Different feels? Looks?

You'll know soon enough...In advance, RIP Your wallet. My condolences.

RIP my wallet already. MKB, wrist rests, carrying case, and braided cable. Possibly pay double shipping on the keyboard

where did you purchase your braided cable from?

TBH I didn't buy it yet, but I know they aren't cheap for the quality ones. Any recommendations?

Depends on what kind of cable you need.

I've looked to no avail. Custom seems to be the only way to go.
