Keyboards

They aren't just input devices–custom ones are functional pieces of art.

Every component choice and modification affects the final sound and feel: the chassis, switches, switch plate, keycaps, foam, lubricants, and more.

From the process of building it to typing on the finished piece, it never gets old. You've created something that's one of one. Check out my collection below!
