Meka - Mechanical keyboard

This is a mechanical keyboard I built myself.

A mechanical keyboard uses individual, high-quality, usually spring-loaded key switches. The switches can be chosen according to the use of the keyboard or your own preferences.

If you wonder why I did that:

• Highest quality.
• Make the design you always dreamed of (frame & keys).
• Adapt the key pressure to your fingers. E.g. the strongest keys are ENTER, ESCAPE & SPACE. The main keys need a normal pressure, and the bottom ones are the softest because I use them with my little finger & thumb.
• I type 2-3 times faster with it. You especially feel it when you type the super long password of your password vault.
• Flash your own customized firmware and define EVERY SINGLE key, so you can create any shortcut directly in the hardware.
• It is more sustainable. You can upgrade it & fix it. I’m not planning to buy any new keyboard.

OK, you should know that it is still difficult to make it yourself: it needs a lot of time, soldering skills, and around €200. You deserve some extra pictures, here you go:
