New Options for TinyMod

 

Stock TinyMod

I will still be offering the TinyMod4 as it's been for the past year or so. It has 35cN Gateron clear switches which are reasonably light but a little bit noisy. This is a good keyboard for a steno beginner. It will still cost $160 plus shipping.

Quiet TinyMod

The new option is the quiet version of TinyMod4. The only difference is that it has Durock "silent" switches and the springs have been changed to 20cN. Though they're called "silent" switches I would say rather that they're very quiet. They have a solid feel to them and a pretty light touch. It took me a long time to like the feel of 20cN, but now I'm very happy with them. You might find that you press a lot of keys by accident for awhile because of the light touch. Because the switches and replacement springs cost more and it's extra work swapping springs, I'll be charging $200 plus shipping for the quiet model.

Shipping

Shipping in the United States is USPS Priority Package with tracking and delivery time of several days. The cost is $8.30 $9.20.

Shipping out of the States has been flaky lately it seems. I lost one 1st Class Package to the UK all together several months ago, and another one took over a month is to arrive. This is without tracking. So since then I've been encouraging people to choose USPS Global Express Package. This has tracking and gets there in a matter of a few days. No problems with it yet, except of course that it costs in the range of $140. I'm not willing to guarantee delivery of the cheaper 1st Class Package, so that would be entirely your risk. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. 1st Class Package International costs about $25.

We've had success lately with the USPS Priority and USPS Priority Express as well as the more expensive Global Express Guaranteed options. Priority costs somewhere around $40 USD to most countries.

To Order

Email me. You'll find my address in the upper right corner of this page. Tell me which version you want and give me your shipping address. I'll send you a PayPal invoice which you can pay with a PayPal account or with a credit card. Of course you can just email me with questions at any time.

Back in Business

I have parts now. I've caught up on backlog, so I should be able to get you a TinyMod pretty quickly now.

Waiting on Parts

I did manage to make and sell a few TinyMods in July, but due to some bad timing on my part, plus not discovering that my internet provider had a spam folder that I could only access via webmail, I'm out of keycaps and won't be able to get more until mid-September. I'll be using the time to build up an inventory (everything but the keycaps) so I can be ready to ship keyboards quickly when the parts arrive. If you already have appropriate keycaps and want to order a TinyMod without them, for say $20 off, then email me. Otherwise I really don't want to take money until I'm sure of having a product to ship. I'm happy to make a waiting list for people who want a TinyMod and are willing to wait however.

I want you to know that I'm frustrated by this. I really like being the vendor who can get you a steno keyboard ASAP. I'm hoping that I can plan better in the future and make that be true again.

Taking a Short Break

I'm waiting on some parts and just generally need a break. It's been so busy lately! So I won't be able to ship any keyboards until close to the end of the month (late July). I'll still be reading my email though, so feel free to ask questions. Thanks!
