Hey Geekhack community!

I’m Byron，a keyboard designer and maker from China. I’ve been deep into the hobby for three years, focusing on ergonomic layouts and tactile typing experiences — my current passion project is an Alice-style tented keyboard kit (CNC aluminum case, solder PCB, with angle-adjustable feet).
I just finished producing my first small batch of 100 units (prototyping took 6 months with 5 revisions!). While tuning the tenting angle, I struggled to balance wrist comfort and case stability — would love to hear your thoughts if you’ve designed tented boards before!
Excited to learn from all the brilliant minds here. I’ll be active in the Alice Keyboard Club and Build Logs sections. Feel free to ask me about CNC machining or factory negotiations in China (spoiler: it’s a wild ride 😅).
Cheers!
Byron

Super thank you! It's definitely quieter now, but gh still holds a special place in my heart. Here's a photo of my keyboard~ I hope you like it and leave a comment.

Thank you very much. I am currently increasing the number of my posts. I wonder if you could give me some advice.

Hello from Australia!

Hi Byron, I want to reach out to as many people around the world regarding keyboards to ask them what the Keyboard scene is like in their country.

China is a great place for Keyboard designers as most of the factories and CNC shops are based there. Have you had any experience with any of them?

I hope you can share your stories with me and I will like to share mine with you.
Appreciate your reply.

Happy clacking
