I've been building and modding keyboards since 2021. I first got into building keyboards because of health issues that stopped me from working on cars. I've always had two sides of me, the "lets build things" side and the "wow I'm a nerd" side. Once I took building out of the picture I felt kind of lost. I tried a number of things while working through my health issues. Legos, puzzles, video games about building things. Nothing really scratched the part of me that felt missing. Until I stumbled upon a video from Switch and Click building a custom keyboard and that my friends is where the rabbit hole started. 

Now admittedly I've had mechanical keyboards for years from collecting and gaming on old retro computers and consoles, so I was familiar with how different keyboards felt and sounded but never put two and two together or even thought about achieving that with my current keyboard. I watched hundreds of videos, I lurked on dozens of streams and channels, took in as much info as I could and started ordering random boards and random parts to see what I could do. That was when I knew this was the part of me that felt missing. The anticipation of how a build will turn out. Building something that you can actually use not just look at on a shelf. Just being able to modify and tinker with something that is not only fun to use but is also a tool. So I've just replaced cars with keyboards. 

After building and modding tons of keyboards for myself and everyone I knew, I wanted to keep building but felt I needed a reason. Enter YouTube. With the word "budget" getting more and more expensive and tutorials turning into rants I wanted to create a place where anyone could come and learn how to mod a keyboard, how to make it feel or sound better. I don't care if it's $20 or $1000, there is space for everyone and every type of user.
