Taking build commissions Toronto, Canada

Hey there, I’m Alex! I have a passion for building custom mechanical keyboards. To me, it’s not just a keyboard. It’s a tool we use to interact with others, that we use for our livelihood, and even what we use to express our creativity. It’s an extension of us. The goal I had in mind was, and is, to create a welcoming and friendly community for any like minded individuals.

Ducky Cushion 98 Review

The Cushion 98 is Ducky's take on a compact 98% keyboard with actually pretty good silent switches.

At $159 to start, it's also sitting in a pretty interesting part of the market where it goes up against some titans in the pre-built space right now.

Another mini-meetup in Toronto! I love these things, it's really nice seeing everyone and just hanging out. It really does feel like the social aspect of this hobby is the most important, at least to me that is.

Solder vs. Hotswap PCBs

On paper, it looks like a simple choice between convenience and manual labor. Hotswap lets you pop switches in and have a working board in something like 15 minutes. Solder requires an iron, some steady hands, ventilation, and an hour-ish of your time. But which is actually better?

Come hang out in the discord.

This server is a place I wanted to create when I was searching for a fun place to hang. It's where builds get planned, group buys get discussed, and most of what ends up on this site starts as a conversation.
