Do you like mechanical keyboards? Meet fellow fans in Zurich

Mechanical keyboard users from all around Switzerland are meeting in Zurich. And you can decide when to meet.

Mechanical keyboards have a cult-like following. Which switches are best? Which cap colours are the most beautiful? How should the keyboard be laid out? But wait: what is everyone else doing with their periphery of choice? This last question can be answered by the Swiss Mechanical Keyboard Enthusiast Community (Swiss MK).

The community, which includes developer of Debian and member of the «Hackerfunk» podcast Axel Beckert, is inviting fanatics across the country.

Choose a date

A definite meet-up date hasn't been decided yet. Beckert recently tweeted out an «availability» calendar. He hopes that as many keyboard enthusiasts as possible will be able to join him in the offices of the non-profit organisation Revamp-it at Röschibachstrasse 24-26 in Zurich.

Keyboard warriors

Mechanical keyboards awaken many imaginations. After all, you use keyboards daily and spend many hours with them. This doesn't just agitate the mind, however. It also wakes a certain feeling of nostalgia for old keyboards that aren't being made anymore.

The Swiss MK event will allow you to talk with other enthusiasts, drink coffee, argue, debate and collect new ideas.
