Our Mission
To better the keyboard community through manufacturing, design, education, and greater collaboration between key players to bolster and assist with community projects. We want to give the community the power to vote on major decisions and projects transparently. Fundraising/voting/spends will all be publicly available through a platform we’ll build.
Our Values
- Don’t be greedy – Money is for sharing
- Make good keyboards, be good to people, don’t rip them off
- Pay people fairly for their time and effort; let specialists specialize
- Make everyone feel welcome in our diverse hobby
- Be transparent, be communicative
- Always look out for #1 (our hobby)
What We Do
Keyboards for People
We aim to help makers and designers make their projects come to life by providing the resources and connections that they may not currently have.
Community Programs
Build-a-thons to raise funds for charities, keycap design contests, and educational workshops aimed at teaching people how to build keyboards, solder, desolder, design, render, and more!
