Come join in on the fun and learn about mechanical keyboards!
Ever wondered what the buzz is about mechanical keyboards? Wonder why people use them instead of the cheap-o keyboard that came with their computers?
Wonder no longer!
I’ll do my best to cover an intro to:
How a keyboard works
Understanding the matrix
Key switches
Software
Retrofitting
Cheap starter boards
Keycaps
Languages
Alternative layouts
I’ll have on hand a limited supply of switches to give away for testing (can be used with Arduino/Raspberry Pi) and a smattering of sample keyboards.

Ryan, what time were you thinking of coming?
oh shoot - I didn’t add a time to the event post haha - I’ll be there a bit early to set up (just need to be able to Google images/sites and show them off).
I’ll be at the space no later than 6:45PM, and will start at 7PM sharp.
