Hey, I'm Anthony

Stuck indoors during the pandemic, I stumbled upon some mechanical keyboard sound test videos, and they completely blew my mind. The variety in sound and feel seemed endless, and I quickly became fascinated. The idea of building a keyboard tailored exactly to my preferences, something I'd use every day, was incredibly compelling. I dove into research and became eager to try everything I could.

After months of researching the build process, including lubing switches, tuning stabilizers, foam modding, and chasing that perfect sound, I took the plunge. I started small with a budget GK61x kit with Gateron Yellows just to see if I'd enjoy it. I was instantly hooked. From there, I began documenting my builds and sharing sound tests on YouTube.

This was the year things really escalated. I started joining group buys and investing in more premium parts. I experimented with both budget-friendly plastic builds and high-end full aluminum boards. Along the way, I discovered one of my all time favourites, the HHKB by PFU/Fujitsu with Topre (electrostatic-capacitive switch).

I started building custom keyboards for friends, sharing what I'd learned and introducing more people to the hobby. It was a great way to keep the excitement alive.

These days, I've mostly stepped away from the hobby. I'm not up to date with the latest trends or releases, but I still build a board every now and then, usually for friends. While I'm not as active, the appreciation for the craft is still there.
