This is just a smidge of things we can expect from ongoing political affairs in the US, but still damning. While we will be able to get things from the US warehouses, people are already starting to see issues with what said warehouses have in stock.

I literally just picked up their NES-themed mechanical keyboard. I was looking at their new mouse, but I noticed pre-orders for it were disabled and this is likely the cause. I think a lot of Americans let themselves get misled about what these tariffs would mean for our supply chain, and they are going to learn the truth the hard way.

If you want or need any electronics, now would be the time to get them. But don't think the ill effects of these tariffs will stop there.

EDIT: I know this video is long, but it is a really comprehensive look at how the tariffs are affecting manufacturers and how ultimately it will cost their customers. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm still awaiting my own order of the SuperStation with a bit of trepidation, to be honest.
