Pricing

Lead vendor — gb: Unikeys and GEON, tied at $380 for the same build ($300 + $80 weight vs $359 barebone + $21 PCB); the plate/badge and separate-PCB rows are GEON's ($15–$60 plate, $32 badge), the only vendor that prices those parts outright rather than as deltas.

• Three of the four vendors hide required surcharges in a product-options widget, and all three were previously recorded at their bare Shopify variant price. Corrected on 2026-08-22 by reading each widget; no vendor changed its price. Three different apps are involved (Tepo, HulkApps, Globo), so the shape of the miss differed every time.
  • Unikeys: $380 (PVD) / $420 (Brass Patina), not the $300 flat its variants show — required Weight, +$80 / +$120.
  • Prototypist: £288.33 (PVD) / £318.33 (Brass Patina), not the £227.50 its single variant shows — required Weight, +£60.83 / +£90.83.
  • Divinikey: $399 (Aluminum) / $419 (PC), not the $341 / $361 its variants show — required PCB (+$23 minimum) and required Badge (+$35, every choice). Its weight is free at PVD, but Brass Patina adds +$45, so its listing is not "flat across weight" as this file previously said.
• The vendors' base kits do not contain the same parts — compare with that in mind:
  • Unikeys $380/$420 includes a solder PCB and a badge; hotswap PCB +$6 and Topre EC PCB +$21 are upgrades over the included solder PCB, not standalone prices. Plates are +$15 (Alu 1.5mm / PC 4mm), +$24 (ABS 4mm), +$43 (PEI 4mm), +$60 (PEEK 4mm); spare badges +$32.
  • GEON's barebone excludes plate and PCB (stated outright in its info-graphic COMPONENT panel) but includes the badge: $359 + its own $21 solder PCB = $380, identical to Unikeys' floor.
  • Divinikey's $399 / $419 includes the PVD weight, an MX solder PCB and a badge, plateless. Its "Includes" list names a PCB and badge, but both are charged as required options on top of the variant price. Only Divinikey charges for the PC top case (+$20) and it is the only vendor with a paid badge.
  • Prototypist's base is £288.33 (PVD) / £318.33 (Brass Patina) ≈ $393 / $434 — not the £227.50 its single Shopify variant shows. Colourway, layout, top case, weight, PCB, plate and badge all live in a HulkApps options widget, whose required Weight adds +£60.83 / +£90.83. Includes a solder PCB and badge, plateless; hotswap PCB +£4.17, Topre EC +£15.83, plates +£11.67 to +£45.83. It is the most expensive vendor here, not the cheapest.
• The Brass Patina weight is a +$40 premium at Unikeys ($380 → $420), GEON ($359 → $399) and Prototypist (+£30 ≈ $41), and +$45 at Divinikey ($399 → $444).
• Like-for-like (PVD weight, MX solder PCB, badge, plateless): Unikeys $380 = GEON $380 ($359 + $21 PCB) < Prototypist ~$393 < Divinikey $399. Unikeys and GEON agree to the dollar on both weights ($380/$420), which is a good check that the widget readings are right.
• No vendor's Shopify variant price is its kit price except GEON's, and GEON's is a barebone that excludes the plate and PCB. Take every base figure in this file from the Vendors section, not from a listing page's headline.
• GEON's scraped listing currently shows only 2 of the 9 colorways (AER, AEVUM) across its 250 variants; the other vendors list all nine.
• Prototypist's prices are quoted ex-VAT (UK vendor) and converted to USD @ 1 GBP = 1.3641988 USD (2026-08-21) for the lead-vendor comparison: base ~$393.34 (PVD) / ~$434.27 (Brass); separate addons product — solder PCB ~$21.60, hotswap PCB ~$28.42, Topre EC PCB ~$43.20, Alu plate ~$15.92, PC plate ~$15.92, ABS plate ~$25.01, PEI plate ~$44.34, PEEK plate ~$62.52, badge ~$32.97 — all slightly above GEON's native USD prices, so GEON leads every addon row.
• GEON's addon variants are all currently marked unavailable (is_available: false) in the scraped listing.

Sensy Lab Supernova is a 60% keyboard kit offered in nine colourways (AER, AEVUM, COMETA, Ether, Ignis, Natura, Orbis, Reliquiae, Terra) with aluminum or PC (frosted natural / bead-blasted transparent) top-case options, using a new SonoShell mounting system that combines a dampened top mount with a PEI mid-frame layer sandwiched between the top and bottom case — this structure allows for a distinct PEI-bottom acoustic while retaining the aluminum case. Choose between a heat-colored Brass Patina weight or PVD Stainless Steel weight, specifically designed and matched to each colorway, and a WK, WKL, or HHKB layout.
