Getting Started

Welcome to Keeb — a Hack Club you-ship-we-ship project where you learn to build your own mechanical keyboard from scratch.

What You’ll Build

A fully functional 60% mechanical keyboard, including:

• Custom PCB — designed for this project
• Mechanical switches — your choice of linear, tactile, or clicky
• Keycaps — a clean, no-nonsense keycap set
• Case & plate — everything to house your board
• USB-C cable — to connect to your machine

How It Works

1. Read through these docs — learn about the parts, the process, and what to expect
2. Follow the build guide — step-by-step instructions from unboxing to typing
3. We ship you the parts — once you’re ready, we send everything to your door
4. Build it — solder, assemble, flash, and you’ve got a custom keyboard

Prerequisites

No prior experience required. If you can hold a soldering iron, you can do this. The guide covers everything from basic soldering technique to firmware flashing.
