Like mechanical keyboards? Me too. That’s why I started the Keycap Kevin article series. I’ve put together this overview to help you find every entry.
As a keyboard nerd, I love nothing more than unpacking and assembling a new model. I’ve been sharing my enthusiasm for custom keyboards for several years now in articles here on Digitec Galaxus – since 2022, in a series titled Keycap Kevin.
It all started with the idea of making a series of videos on improving keyboards. The first five episodes, all in video format, were diligently commented on and liked, so I decided to publish all my custom keyboards articles under the name Keycap Kevin. You’ll find every article listed here, from new to old.
