In March 2022 I discovered the Mechanical Keyboard hobby and I’ve been enjoying it ever since! Mechanical keyboards differ from most input devices in the fact that each key press is registered with the help of a switch. Most keyboards today are known as membrane keyboards, where their functionality differs and does not give way to a customized and personalized typing experience. Below are the boards that I have built since the start of my journey in this hobby.
