Custom Mechanical Keyboards

I design and build these keyboards by hand. A good design includes a combination of keycaps (the visible part of the key), switches (the mechanical part of each key), and base (which holds the keys). I assemble and lubricate each key separately to create a satisfying sound and feel when typing.

Below is a selection of keyboards I have made for clients. Please contact me for a quote if you are interested.
