Positioning
KeyCraft bridges the gap between mass-market mechanical keyboards (Corsair, Razer) and the boutique custom keyboard world (Mode, Keychron Q series). Their boards feature construction techniques from the custom world—gasket mounting, PBT keycaps, hot-swap sockets—at prices that make keyboard enthusiasts do a double-take. They offer two distinct lines: conventional TKL/75% layouts for the mainstream, and split ergonomic boards for the posture-conscious.
Brand Story
KeyCraft emerged from the mechanical keyboard enthusiast community in 2020, founded by two r/MechanicalKeyboards moderators who were frustrated that the custom keyboard experience required $300+ group buys and months of waiting. Their mission was to bring gasket-mounted, hot-swappable boards to the mainstream market at prices that didn't require a second mortgage. Within three years, they've become the go-to recommendation in keyboard communities for 'your first serious mechanical keyboard.'
