Where To Learn About Mechanical Keyboards
I won’t go into the details about how and why mechanical keyboards and the community exists because there are already a ton of great articles and resources out there about it. Some that I have read and find interesting:
- Drop.com: Anatomy Of A Mechanical Keyboard
- Matt3o.com: How To Build A Keyboard
- Smashing Magazine: A Complete Guide To Mechanical Keyboards
- The Verge: How And Why I Built My First Mechanical Keyboard
Once you decide to delve deeper or want to buy or build something yourself the next step is often:

- GeekHack: Old-school forum for mechanical keyboards and related things.
