Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our services and the custom keyboard process:

• Q: How long does it take to build a custom keyboard?

  A: It depends on the complexity of your design and part availability. Most builds take 1-2 weeks.

• Q: Can I supply my own parts?

• Q: What types of switches are there and what works best for me?

  A: Tactile, clicky, and linear switches are three different types of mechanical switches used in keyboards. The main differences lie in their feel, sound, and actuation characteristics. Here's a summary Tactile Provides a bump at the actuation point for feedback. Quiet with moderate noise. Clicky Provides a bump and a loud click at the actuation point. Loud and distinctive. Linear No bump or click, just a smooth keypress. Quiet and fast. I also recommend watching the video down below in regards to swtiches in order to see the differences as well.

• Q: What is the difference between layouts (Numberpad, 60%, 65%, TKL, 100%)?

Numberpad for calculator-like setups, 60%-65% for compact designs, TKL for a balance of size and function, and 100% for full functionality. There are even more layouts like 1800, 75%, and 40%.
