I've been building and modding keyboards since 2021. My journey began after some health issues forced me to step away from working on cars. At first  it wasn't a big deal, but the longer it went on the more incomplete I felt. See I've always had two sides: the hands-on builder and the unabashed nerd. When I could no longer wrench on engines, I felt adrift.

I tried filling that void with Legos, puzzles, and building-focused video games, but nothing satisfied that deeper need to create something tangible and functional. Then I stumbled upon a Switch and Click video about building a custom keyboard, and everything... well clicked. That's where the rabbit hole began.

I'd owned mechanical keyboards for years through collecting vintage computers and consoles, so I understood how different switches felt and sounded—I just never considered applying that knowledge to my daily setup. I dove deep: hundreds of videos, countless streams, forums, subreddits. I ordered random boards and parts just to experiment. The moment I completed my first build, I knew I'd found what was missing. The anticipation of each new project, the satisfaction of creating something both beautiful and useful, the endless tinkering possibilities, it was like that fulfilment was finally back. Keyboards gave me everything I loved about cars in a form I could still pursue.

After building and modding keyboards for myself, friends, and family, I wanted to keep going but needed direction. That's when I started my YouTube channel. As "budget" builds crept toward ridiculous price points and tutorials devolved into soapboxing, I saw an opportunity. I wanted to create a space where anyone regardless of budget or experience could go and have access to honest reviews, learn to mod their keyboards, or simply listen the nice click, clack and thocks. Whether you're working with a $20 office board or a $1,000 custom, there's room for you here. Everyone deserves a great typing experience. So remember type different and keep keyboarding.
