Plugable Technologies, a top global brand for USB products and docking stations, has been affected by the new US tariffs this week.

If the tariff rate increases to 25% as planned on January 1st, there will be another corresponding rise at that time. Today, most consumer electronics are manufactured in China. However, all of Plugable’s full-time employees, including designers and support engineers, work in Redmond, WA....

Traditionally a high quality mechanical keyboard retails at $100 or more. Because of this high cost of entry to the mechanical keyboard experience, many people choose to settle with an inexpensive standard generic mushy and lifeless rubber dome keyboard. There have been a few budget mechanical keyboards released over the past few years, but...
