Like many I had grown up with an old IBM keyboard growing up. I’ve always appreciated a good keyboard and throughout the years I’ve used many brands: logitech, Razer, and Ducky to name a few. So I can’t necessarily remember how I discovered the world of custom mechanical keyboards, it could have been that I stumbled onto r/MechanicalKeyboards or I’d found a set of keycaps that peaked my interest.

Never the less in October 2019 I discovered GeekHack, a great source for all sorts of custom keyboard components. Specifically this thread on GMK Dracula caught my eye. I loved the set, and was a huge fan of the Dracula (if you haven’t realised from this site alone).
