Pricing

Lead vendor: SWAGKEYS (native USD pricing; tied with Bowl Keyboards at $67 for the base kit — SWAGKEYS kept as lead as the originating store).

• Prices above are per-kit; a full build combines a base kit (Acero or Neon, same price) with any add-on kits (novelty / desynchronization / numpad) at their own prices.

  • No discount codes are usable with this product (per Delta's listing)
  • Delta's own listing is titled "SWG Nerve (Pre-Order)" with a "Pre-Order Date: July 13–August 10" line, but since the price and July 13–August 10 window match the other 6 vendors' GB listings exactly, it is folded into the single gb column here rather than given its own pre-order column — this product has no real GB/MOQ risk, so vendors use "GB" and "Pre-Order" interchangeably for the same pre-manufacture price tier.

We know all of you have been waiting for it. Nerve is back in R2 with SWG. With an additional kit as well. "THIS IS THE LAST RUN FOR NERVE" — We will have to see about that, but make sure you don't miss out on this one.

SWG Nerve's design is inspired by a mix of Biomechanical and Brutalism, developed from GMK Nerve — reinterpreting the events that followed a failed experiment in space. This run is produced with SWG, a fast-rising keycap brand from Swagkeys (South Korea), known for high-quality doubleshot ABS keycaps at accessible prices, doubleshot ABS around 1.3-1.4mm thick, tuned for clear/crisp sound, a smooth surface texture, and sharp legends. New to this Nerve run is the Desynchronization Kit, a semi-transparent version of the Novelties set.
