Why Keyboards?

Mechanical keyboards have been a long-standing interest since 2019, inspiring a project rooted in customization, function, and visual expression. The appeal of mechanical keyboards lies in their ability to be personalized through physical appearance, materials, and sound, turning a productivity tool into a creative space. This project explores how design can celebrate that culture by highlighting the balance between utility, individuality, and the tactile experience of everyday objects.
