Deal | Over 70% off: Summer Sale offers steep discounts on fun, premium mechanical keyboards and accessories

The Corgi Fairlady Alice is a wireless mechanical keyboard kit with an aluminium chassis that puts a fun corgi-themed twist on an ergonomic layout. The Corgi Fairlady features a 65% layout, and it comes with an included wrist rest that adds an adorable bow-tie to the corgi case — the wrist rest also cleverly hides the 2.4 GHz dongle. It includes plenty of accessories, like a full foam kit, three different plate materials (FR4, PP, and PC), as well as included foam gaskets and a nice carrying case. The keyboard itself is gasket mount and uses foam gaskets for a softened typing feel and acoustic isolation. 

At $89.79 during the KBDfans sale, the kit does not include keycaps, switches, stabilisers, or the battery, but a battery can be added for $10, and KBDfans offers stabiliser kits for as little as $10. A set of cheap switches, like the Epomaker Wisteria Linear switches can be found on Amazon for $25. Meanwhile, there are keycap sets available for around $20 on Amazon, bringing the total up to just under $160, which is cheaper than many pre-built keyboards, like the Keychron Q13 Max we recently reviewed, with similar features. There are also pre-built options available on KBDfans for $127.20.

The KBDfans Pavlov features a more traditional 65% layout with a clean, angular design that seems to take inspiration from the brutalist architecture movement. The Pavlov, another full aluminium keyboard, switches things up and offers a dual mounting system, with both the cushioned tadpole mount and a top mount option that prioritises the sound profile. 

The kit, currently discounted to $89.55, comes with the PCB, both mounting options and silicone socks, three different plate options — aluminium, FR4, and PC — and the keyboard case itself. The Pavlov is a wired-only keyboard with support for QMK and VIA for customisation, and it features an impressively low front height of 18.4 mm and a 7° typing angle. 

As with the Corgi Alice keyboard, the Pavlov does not come with keycaps, switches, or stabilisers, but those can be purchased on the site or from Amazon or elsewhere fairly inexpensively. The Pavlov is currently discounted by 55%, putting the price between $89.55 and $96.30, depending on what finish and colourway you opt for. It is available in anodised purple, black, or dark night or e-coated white, with the white version being the most expensive. 

KBDfans makes more than just keyboards, and the brand has discounted a bunch of its switches, keycaps, desk mats, and other keyboard accessories by as much as 70%. 

The Gateron Caps Milky Yellow linear switches are a particularly good deal, coming in at just $8 for a set of 35 switches, which is cheaper than many “budget” mechanical switches.

The KBDfans desk mat deals include group buy extras, like $5 deals on the Subarashi, Alert, PBTFANS KABUKI-CHO 歌舞伎町 R2, and Brutalist desk mats; $7.50 Atomic Purple series, and the $15 sale on the Cyberpunk-inspired Retro Dark Lights R2 Cyber design. These are all 4 mm thick, feature stitched edges and rubber bottoms, and measure 900 × 400 mm.
