With the recent release of the BAMFK-1, I thought it was a good time to get some thoughts from the creator himself! NovelKeys features the Big Switch, and the community needed a new aesthetic case for it. Our founder, Danny, had just the case in mind… thus the creation of...
If you’re a first timer to mechanical keyboards, read on! This will help you choose the best keyboard for your needs, and help you understand some names of things. Psst! If you’re familiar with mech keebs, but are a first timer to Keebio, and you want to know...
The Iris has gone through 8 revisions so far, and it can be hard to remember the difference between revisions. So, we've put together some info about what those differences are so you know what to get. Comparison Table of Revisions Here's a table comparing the...
If you're interested in getting a pre-built keyboard from Keebio or just building your own, such as the Iris, Quefrency, and Sinc, one of the options you'll need to decide upon is which switches you want for us to use for your build. Don't...
After several months of working on the design and going through a few prototypes, we've finally started production on the aluminum case for the Iris! Development Process What took so long? If you’ve been tracking the status of development on the status board, you’ll see that...
Five years ago on May 5, 2017, I launched Keebio and announced it to the world. Back then, the store just had Cherry MX deskmats, diodes, TRRS jacks, Pro Micros, and switch springs. Not too long after, I added in Gateron switches and my first keyboard PCB, the Nyquist. Ever...
About 3 and a half years ago, I decided to start an online store (Keebio) as an experiment to see how it would go. I had been into the mechanical keyboards hobby for about a year at that point and had already gone into doing custom builds and handwired boards....
For some DIY mechanical keyboards, instead of an integrated microcontroller, a daughterboard like the Pro Micro is used. Pro Micro-based builds/PCBs are commonly found in designs for split keyboards like the Let’s Split, Quefrency, and Iris (the older Rev. 2), due to split keyboards being relatively new compared...
It’s been a while since I last posted something, although I’ve got a lot of ideas and thoughts in my head. I’ve got 8–9 draft posts on various keyboard-related topics that one day will all get finished. But in the meantime, here’s a bit more...
