Barebone

Are you tired of mass-produced keyboards that don't quite live up to your expectations? Do you dream of designing and building your own keyboard, fully customised to your needs and preferences? Then a Barebone kit is the perfect solution for you! A Barebone kit is the foundation of a mechanical keyboard and gives you the freedom to create a unique keyboard that reflects your personality and gaming style. Unlike pre-built keyboards, where you are limited to the manufacturer's design choices, a Barebone kit lets you pick and choose from a variety of components to create the perfect keyboard for you. Barebone is a keyboard without any switches or keycaps. Mechanical barebone keyboards allow users to build their own unique mechanical keyboard with less effort and learning technology. These keyboards are sold as is, giving you the freedom to choose your own switches and keycaps to suit you and your style.

A typical Barebone kit contains the basic parts:

Principal Circuit Board (PCB): The heart of the keyboard that connects all the components and sends signals to your computer. You can choose between different layouts, sizes and functions depending on your needs.
Mounting plate: A plate, usually made of metal or plastic, that holds the PCB and switches in place. Different materials give different feel and sound to the keyboard.
Stabilisers: Used to stabilise larger keys such as space, shift and enter. They ensure a smooth and stable feel throughout the entire keyboard.
Bottom plate: The lower part of the keyboard that provides stability and protects the components inside. Available in a variety of materials and designs to match your style.

Please note that a Barebone kit does not usually include:

Keycaps: These are purchased separately and come in a range of materials, colours and profiles to match your taste.
Switches: The heart of the mechanical keyboard, which emits the sound and tone when you type. You can choose between different types of switches depending on your preferences.

Building a keyboard from a Barebone kit has many benefits:

Customisation: You have complete control over every aspect of your keyboard, from layout and size to materials and switches.
Quality: You can choose high-quality components to suit your needs and preferences, resulting in a more durable and satisfying keyboard.
Unique: Create a keyboard that's as unique as you are, with personalised colour combinations, materials and details.
Learning: Building a keyboard is a fun and educational project that gives you a deeper understanding of how mechanical keyboards work.
