April 1st Joke - ETA is Summer 2026 - This is a pre-order.

Tired of waiting for your orders? Still stuck in open group buys that may, or may not,arrive?

Don’t worry. Join us for InputGears’ very first group buy.

Ever thought about starting a business but lacked the capital? Just launch a group buy. They’ve been popular since 2014, filling business pockets with zero risk and no need for upfront investment.

In fact, the model has had its darker side, an estimated $14 million has been burned worldwide in undelivered mechanical keyboard group buys since 2015.

This deskmat is supported by 900mats and the good old (and now gone) CandyKeys, as a small celebration of CandyKeys having delivered all but two of its open group buys.

While the culture hasn’t changed much, customers in 2026 are still getting burned by group buys, even though the market has grown large enough for businesses to fund their own projects.

This mat is a tribute to those who are still in the group buy game.

Size: 900x400mm approx. 3mm thick

Tired of waiting for your orders? Still stuck in open group buys that may, or may not, arrive?

Don't worry. Join us for InputGear's very first group buy.

Ever thought about starting your own business, but lacked the capital? Just launch a group buy. They've been trending since 2014 and have filled company pockets without risk and without any initial capital.

However, this model also has its downsides: an estimated 14 million US dollars have been lost worldwide in undelivered Mechanical Keyboard GroupBuys since 2015.

This deskmat is supported by 900mats and the good old (and now defunct) CandyKeys; as a small tribute to CandyKeys for having delivered all but two of its open group buys.

Even though the scene has barely changed, customers in 2026 are still being disappointed by group buys, even though the market is now large enough for companies to finance their projects themselves.

This deskmat is a tribute to everyone who is still in the group buy game.

Happy First of April.
