Interesting, I was taken by the Overboard Electronics Reference Breadboard and Power Supply (https://www.boltind.com/product/overboard-electronics-reference-breadboard-and-power-supply/) but then I found out that all of the markings along the outside were just reference diagrams. Those kind of references are good, but I don't need the expense of a PCB for that. A PCB should have circuitry printed. When I first saw the gates in the left side of the top border, I was thinking of the DEC G500 trainer:

Those holes at the inputs, and outputs, of the gates take jumper wires to build real circuits.

But Bolt's turned out to be just diagrams in the silkscreen layer.

The mechanical keyboard does look interesting, but I'm not looking for one at the moment.

Stuff looks useful.
