AI Review Summary Based on 20 reviews

Overall customer experience is overwhelmingly positive, with a majority of reviews awarding 5 stars for exceptional service and product quality. Customers frequently praise the company for its fast delivery, often facilitated by DHL, with many in-stock items dispatched quickly and arriving within days, even internationally. The product quality, particularly for desk mats and keycaps, is described as very high, with vibrant prints and good stitching. Staff, especially the owner Jae, are highlighted as knowledgeable, passionate, and providing superb, even generous customer service, including resolving issues like missing keys from manufacturer errors. The company is regarded as a top UK destination for mechanical keyboard supplies, offering a good range of in-stock items, pre-orders, and group buys. However, significant negative feedback exists regarding the returns and refunds policy, with customers reporting denial of refunds for faulty goods and an inability to cancel group buy orders. Shipping costs can be very high for international customers, especially when rates increase due to external factors. While most experiences are smooth, the two critical reviews indicate serious dissatisfaction with post-purchase support in specific scenarios, contrasting sharply with the otherwise excellent reputation.

Faulty product not eligible for full refund

Faulty product ordered from in-stock section I ve been told I can t receive a refund because its used that s like saying if you try on a pair of jeans and realise they are faulty that you can t return them Totally ignoring faulty goods laws

Does not allow cancellation of group buys

Does not allow cancellation of group buy-orders All other big European mechanical keyboard vendors do allow cancellation and full refund so better to avoid Prototypist

Will definitely buy from here again

At first i was sceptical of the site because their was only 1 review on trustpilot but i loved the design of the desk mat so i took the risk That risk paid off The quality of the mat is as good as it gets Very high quality print vibrant colours and good stitching around the edges packaging was spot on too Delivery took about 5 days 3 working with DHL

All went smoothly arrived on time

I ordered some in-stock items Stabilisers and a Brush from proto Typist they were dispatched within the timeframe mentioned on the website then delivered the next day Of the four companies I ordered things for my mechanical keyboards from recently they were one of only two that actually managed to deliver as promised I would buy from them again

Wanted to share this story to let people know that they re buying from and supporting a great guy by shopping at Prototypist Keyboards

I m yet to actually purchase anything from the site but will definitely be doing so in future Instead this review is about a positive experience I had with Jae the owner On the 16th of April I posted a comment in the MKUK Discord server asking if a certain style of switch tester I had found was available to buy in the UK Unfortunately no one could find anything but Jae very kindly offered to 3D Print me one absolutely free of charge He was very quick to respond to all my emails and messages about the tester and less than a week after posting the comment I had the tester Basically just wanted to share this story to let people know that they re buying from and supporting a great guy by shopping at Prototypist Keyboards
