Now that I finally have some time over the next year, i'm replacing my wasdkeyboard with a custom built keyboard from the ground up. Came across this absolutely fascinating rundown on keyboards, but specifically the biggest key of them all, the SPACEBAR and how stabilizing it led a machinist down the rabbit hole, which I'm seemingly now looking out of.

Keebuilder is the mechanical keyboard cataloging and sharing app I've been waiting for
> I was counting my boards a few weeks ago and realized I had enough to post one every week for the next year. I’m three weeks into this project [https://x.com/hashtag/keebaweek], and recently discovered an app called Keebuilder. I’ve been using it to catalog and share my builds as I take images every week. Over the years I’ve built so many I’ve forgotten what I built them with, so am using Keebuilder to index that info as I look up my receipts. Soon enough I’ll finally have a database of all of my builds, thanks to Keebuilder. OC text by @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.ml/u/Moltz]
You should care more about the stabilizers in your mechanical keyboard—here’s why - Ars Technica
>> While most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the keys they tap all day, mechanical keyboard enthusiasts certainly do. As interest in DIY keyboards expands, there are plenty of things to obsess over, such as keycap sets, layout, knobs, and switches. But you have to get deep into the hobby before you realize there’s something more important than all that: the stabilizers. >> >> Even if you have the fanciest switches and a monolithic aluminum case, bad stabilizers can make a keyboard feel and sound like garbage. Luckily, there’s a growing ecosystem of weirdly fancy stabilizers that can upgrade your typing experience, packing an impressive amount of innovation into a few tiny bits of plastic and metal. > >ending: > >> Still, a good-quality set of stabilizers, properly installed and lubricated, is probably the best upgrade you can make to a mechanical keyboard in spite of tariffs. The duty paid on a $20–30 item won’t break the bank, and it really will make your keyboard better.
