@mntmn : should we add the charger and cable or are there included with the package?

Also: I’ve hard time deciding on the switches ;-)

@ploum charger and cable are not included, but you can use another PD charger if you have one.
@ploum about the switches:
- the clicky ones are more fun, but can be annoying for others
- the linear ones are also very good, and quiet. but not that much fun :D
@mntmn : I’m already having enough "annoying-for-others" fun with my typewriters. Will get the quiet one ;-)
@mntmn : the most important thing I hope you have is guide to place fingers on the keyboard (F and J on Qwerty keyboards). Any touch typist cannot live without those ;-)
@ploum or ... in case of life support need, just a handy drop of super-glue or else on the said keys can solve the problem on any keyboard ... (just to say ;p ) @mntmn #hacker #superglue #protip #lifesupport

@mntmn : thanks!

Is there a limited offer for this first campaign? Should I act tonight or is there no benefit than later this week?

@ploum no limit, except maybe some of the extra items (cables etc) might get out of stock
@mntmn : order placed. I hope they are not sent from USA, I don’t want to pay import taxes.
@ploum they are sent from USA, but taxes to EU are pre-cleared.
@mntmn : Thanks for that. I would even prefer to take a day to travel to Berlin and get it physically than paying those absurd fees ;-)
