AKB Caerdroia Add Ons - Group Buy

🧩 Optional Add-ons

These items will be included in your package with the keyboard when it fulfils. You do not need any of these in order to build the keyboard in the standard MX configuration, but you will need the EC and Alps pack if you plan to utilise these other technologies in your build one day.

Extra PCBs (Solder or Hotswap)

USB Hub Kits (proprietary technology not available after the GB - useful to have spare)

Extra "Thicc" PC Plate

EC Kit Add-on (Steel Plate + PCB + Hardware). You will need to source EC domes, springs, sliders and EC Stabs. We plan to stock those in Q4 or sooner and will be able to add them into existing orders for you.

Alps Kit Add-on (Steel/Brass Plate + PCB)

Extra AKB Feet (Pack of 16) - an emerging standard for keyboard feet

We recommend buying all the extras you need when you enter the Group Buy as these will not be sold as extras after the GB completes.

Thocc Exchange exclusive - to celebrate the honour of hosting an AKB group buy, I am giving all buyers one FREE pack of our bestselling budget switches. And no, I can't tell you which ones... But I can confirm they sound and feel amazing in the board.

⚠️ Group Buy Disclaimer

This is a Group Buy item — not an in-stock product.

Group Buy Period: April 11 – May 11, 2025

Estimated Delivery: Q4 2025

By purchasing, you are reserving a unit that will be manufactured and shipped at a later date. Timelines may shift due to production or logistics delays. I will keep you fully informed and if you have questions - I'm always available.

Please be aware no active discount codes are applicable to this purchase. If you apply a discount code you will be contacted to pay the balance. 

Refunds or cancellations are not typically possible after the GB ends. But as with all Thocc Exchange group buys, you are able to receive a full refund prior to GB end date. We understand that circumstances and decisions change, and want you to feel great about your purchase.

If you need support paying for this, please get in touch. This is only available for existing UK based customers. I can, for a small number of customers, offer extended payment terms or spread payments so that you can get an extra payday in. Please only use this capacity if you absolutely need to so that others can benefit as well.

The Thocc Exchange will always maintain an industry leading policy whereby group buy revenue is held separately to working capital until the group buy completes. This means that barring any extreme circumstances completely outside of our control, it is not possible for us to default or fail on our obligations in this project. Buy with confidence.
