Detailed Description

Mechanical Keyboard is a curated resource guide for discovering and building custom mechanical keyboards.

The project addresses the challenge of finding keyboard designs and components for DIY mechanical keyboard projects. It organizes information by keyboard layout categories—normal, ergonomic, and ortholinear designs, along with numpads and macropads—and provides structured links to controllers, cases, plates, and keycaps. The approach is a categorized directory that helps builders quickly locate specific keyboard types and the parts needed to assemble them.

Someone considering this resource should know it functions as a reference guide rather than a tool or software library. It suits anyone interested in building a custom mechanical keyboard who needs a starting point for discovering available designs and sourcing components. The guide also includes sections on firmware, tools, and tutorials to support the full build process. This is most valuable for people new to the hobby who would benefit from a consolidated list of options across different keyboard styles and component categories.

The project maintains an active development pattern with regular updates to its resource listings. The repository demonstrates consistent engagement with the mechanical keyboard community through ongoing curation of keyboard designs and component sources.
