Some additional FAQs.

  • It depends. Typically you can go as low as about $100-$200, but you can also go all out and get something that’s worth upwards of $1,000.

  • That’s up to you! We act as the intermediary for those who don’t have the time or the skills to learn how to build a keyboard themselves. We’ll walk you through what’s available on the market, figure out your perfect build and then order it, build it and ship it to you!

  • Again of course it all depends, but the custom keyboard market can take potentially years if you want the high quality exclusive items. If you pick a budget build off of Amazon however, it can be shipped and built within a week!

    Additionally, there’s the time it takes us to ship the board to you. There are different options for shipping but if you live in Australia, don’t expect to get it quick! We are headquartered in Canada. Local customers in Ottawa will get the best of the best shipping times!

  • Definitely do a few Google searches… I’m sure it won’t take long for you to find what you like. Additionally, on Reddit /r/mechanicalkeyboards and /r/customkeyboards are very good places to get inspiration.
