CannonKeys has opened a group buy for the Mass 80 keyboard, a feature-rich prebuilt/kit that highlights a large built-in display - the so-called M-panel - plus modular add-ons like plates, wrist rests, and screen M-panels. The company’s listing shows the Group Buy (GB) window running February 3 through February 24, 2026, and lists an estimated delivery of September / October 2026.

The Mass 80 listing presents the product as a customizable, display-forward compact board available in multiple colors. The page repeats that the Mass 80 is a “feature-rich prebuilt/kit with a large built-in display/m-panel option, multiple colors, and modular add-ons (plates, wrist rests, screen M-panels).” Visual assets on the listing appear to include renders and hand photos, but the capture also contains many raw page tokens reading “Render,” suggesting placeholders or incomplete renders in places.

Group-buy mechanics are front and center on the product page. The listing states plainly: “This is a Group Buy, and Group Buy terms and conditions apply.” It also warns buyers that “The estimated date of delivery is just that - an estimate. Delays and setbacks may occur.” Payment policy is unambiguous: “Upon purchase, you will be charged immediately.” The copy adds that “And by purchasing this item, you acknowledge everything stated above.” The page text includes a truncated or typo-riddled line about cancellations: “Forcancellations and refunds, please refer to ourFAQs.”

CannonKeys also provides standard consumer-facing notes about photos, finishes, and stock grading. The listing text reads: “We use photos of our products in hand when possible to show how they look in realistic situations. Sometimes the product might look different within the same listing- this is generally caused by different lighting conditions.” It cautions that “Colors in the final product may vary since renders are done under idealistic artificial lighting.” For metal and finish expectations the listing adds: “Screw holes are not fully anodized or coated, and small marks near the hole opening might be present,” and “When raw or thinly coated, brass will oxidize and patina naturally. Small blemishes and discolorations may be visible.” The page also defines stock grading: “A Stock units should not have any external scratches or egregious marks seen when built. Any internal flaws and marks (including hook marks) that are not seen when built do not constitute a B Stock unit.”

For community members tracking group buys or managing GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), the immediate-charge policy and the September / October 2026 ETA are the clearest takeaways: joining the Mass 80 GB secures a spot now but locks in payment and a long lead time. The listing encourages community ties with a welcoming line: “Welcome to CannonKeys! We're glad you're here!” and an invitation to join their mailing list: “Joining the Cannon Crew means you are the first to know about upcoming projects, restocks, extras, and more through our newsletters!”

What comes next depends on follow-ups CannonKeys may post to the listing - price, full spec sheet, switch and PCB options, and clarified refund language remain to be published. If you plan to buy, factor immediate payment and the September / October delivery window into your build calendar and check the product page and FAQs for the finalized specs and cancellation policy.
