Goblin TechKeys: Revolutionizing Custom Mechanical Keyboards

I've been seeing Goblin TechKeys a lot on Instagram lately. They have a really interesting concept where they offer customization for your very own set of keycaps! 

The concept intrigued me and I did check out their site once some time back, and honestly the shipping was more than US$20, which kind of scared me off.  Recently, I took a look again at the site and realized that on average normal shipping (via NinjaVan) actually costs about US$13 (S$18), which is still not too bad considering you would be getting a set of customized keycaps (and maybe a keeb?). 😆

What I did not realize was that they have an office in Singapore (there is another location in the US)!
