One place for honest,
no-nonsense keyboard advice
Written by someone who types for a living, and got obsessed with making every keystroke count.
The origin story
Why I built Keyblink
When I first started exploring mechanical keyboards seriously, I ran into the same problem over and over: the information I needed was scattered across Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and forum posts that were more interested in selling something than actually helping. As someone who builds websites for a living, I knew I could do better.
“I didn’t want to build another keyboard blog. I wanted to build the resource I wish existed when I was starting out.”
Keyblink launched in May 2025 with one goal: bring together clear, honest, practical keyboard information covering switches, lubing, mods, and builds. All in one place that doesn’t require a PhD in enthusiast forums to navigate. Every guide is written the way I’d explain it to someone sitting next to me at my desk.
The journey
How it started
-
⌨️
Three years ago: First mechanical keyboard
Started using a Keychron as a daily driver for web design and coding work. Immediately noticed how much the typing feel mattered during long sessions.
-
🔍
The research rabbit hole
Discovered that lighter actuation forces reduced hand fatigue during long work days. Started researching linears vs tactiles, spring weights, and actuation points. Never really stopped.
-
🧪
Hands-on experimentation
Worked through multiple keyboards and switch types. Learned about lubing, stabilizer tuning, and how small changes make a noticeable difference in daily typing comfort.

May 2025: Keyblink launches
Put the web design background to work and built a resource to share everything learned along the way. Still growing and actively testing.

🔍 A note on transparency
Keyblink is a growing site, not a decade-old publication. I’m a researcher and enthusiast who has spent years using mechanical keyboards and studying this space. I’ll always tell you the basis for my recommendations rather than pretending to be something I’m not.
Some articles are based on my personal experience with keyboards I’ve used directly. Others are built from extensive research and community consensus. Where I haven’t personally tested something, I’ll say so. Where I have, I’ll tell you exactly what I found.
Affiliate disclosure: Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. My recommendations are never influenced by affiliate relationships.

I read every message personally. Whether it’s a recommendation, a correction, or a topic you’d like to see covered, I’d love to hear from you.
