Hi, I'm Nubs
Mechanical keyboard enthusiast & collector
Building, customizing, and collecting one keycap at a time since 2018. Welcome to my mechanical keyboard journey.
About Me
What started as a simple curiosity about why my keyboard sounded different than others turned into a full-blown obsession. I'm constantly learning, trying new switches, experimenting with different layouts, and connecting with fellow enthusiasts in the mechanical keyboard community.
I believe that the keyboard is more than just a tool — it's a deeply personal extension of your computing experience. Every sound, every tactile feedback, every LED color matters when you spend hours at your desk.
Custom builds are my specialty
My Collection
A showcase of my favorite boards and components
Keychron Q1 Pro
75% Layout • Custom Aluminum
My daily driver. Gateron Jupiter Brown switches with GMK Clack keycaps. The sound profiles are incredible.
Ironclad RGB
60% Layout • RGB
Compact powerhouse with full RGB underglow and key lighting. Kailh Box Jade switches for that sharp tactile feel.
GMMK Pro
75% Layout • Hot-swappable
The board that started it all for me. Perfect for experimenting with different switches and layouts.
Ducky One 3
TKL Layout • Premium Build
Massive, heavy, and solid. Cherry MX Silent Red switches make typing late at night possible.
Custom Builds
Projects I've completed and learned from
The Thock Machine
Custom Built • Lubed Gateron Ink Blacks • PE Foam • PBT Keycaps
My most satisfying build yet. Months of research, lubrication, and tuning resulted in a keyboard that sounds like pure heaven. The deep "thock" is addictive.
Silent Beast
Modified Stock • Silent Switches • Deshimmed Films
A project to make keyboard meetings at my actual (non-remote) job possible. Silent Red switches with extensive dampening.
The RGB Experiment
Full RGB • Soldered • Custom Firmware
My first venture into custom firmware and LED arrays. More lights than function, but learned so much about QMK and LED mapping.
