- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5115:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5115:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

Show off your open-source hardware flair with a super-classy, custom-made Open Source Hardware Gear Logo Etched Keycap. It's made with a translucent/opaque plastic that is etched to create an elegant glow-through effect. Perfect to show your hacker/maker cred on your next mechanical keyboard project.

Snaps onto any Cherry MX or compatible switch. Since the logo is centered, you'll get a glow whether you have north or south-facing switches. It's R4 profile so will work nicely as a stand-alone key or at the top row of your keyboards.

Adafruit donates to and sponsors the Open Source Hardware Association and Open Hardware Summit, a portion of sales of these keycaps will go to the Open Source Hardware Association.
