Love Firefox enough to drop $200 on a branded keyboard? Tough, it’s sold out1

Mozilla is flogging a full-sized, 108-key mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches. It has a unique keycap colour scheme and branding with Firefox logo super/meta key and the new Firefox mascot Kit on Esc. It works wired, via Bluetooth or 2.4g wireless.

“Clean, clicky and finished in Firefox colors”, reads the Mozilla Store description, “this is a keyboard that looks good, feels better and sneaks in a little personality where you least expect it” (unaware the personality is exactly where one would expect it: on the keys).

The new Mozilla Store has been online for a while – now on a .com, not .org like the old merch shops, which presumably mean profit goes to the corporate side, not the non-profit – but I don’t check it regularly enough to notice new items drop.

Seems others did; the keyboard, admittedly a more compelling item than most, sold out its initial appearance, despite a $198 price tag (minus shipping and tax), and with scant detail on materials, build quality, warranty, battery type/capacity, charging…

Update: it’s back in stock for some users in the US – thanks MJ!

Nor are there even many photos of the device. No profile view, no bottom side view to show if it has feet, etc.

But, there’s a zany cat product image, pictured right. So who needs anything besides vibes and brand loyalty to commit to a purchase!

If it has sold out, will it come back in stock?

A Mozilla rep said “any items that become sold out should be available again”. So, if you’ve longed for a Firefox-branded mechanical keyboard, keep tabs on the store.

Other merch that’s available includes t-shirts, caps, socks2, stickers and keyrings – standard stuff (no umbrella; I left a terrific Mozilla umbrella I had in a coffee shop in 2014).

Oh, and plushies of Kit are coming soon. I imagine those will sell out fast – if you think you’d (also) like one of those off gathering a toupee of dust in the corner of your home, make a note to check the store – and let me know if they land…

  1. This is the second “it’s out, but sold out” I’ve written in a week – stop buying things so fast, people! ↩︎
  2. Given the use of AI in some of the shop imagery, there’s even a chance you might get “Temu’d”on delivery day for free, and find your t-shirt is doll size, the socks are each a different size and the cap is actually just a photo glued to a piece of clear acrylic. ↩︎
