Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to switchbox.studio!
I’m Deadeye Dave, and I collect and write about mechanical keyboard switches (and keyboards); I post reviews, comparisons, and more. Have a question? Say hi! I share the occasional build, and curate an ever-growing glossary of keeb terminology.
Feel free to browse around, or check out one of my latest posts:

Who am I, anyway? You can find most of my applicable contributions thus-far on keebtalk, under the username Deadeye – you can call me Dave, if you like. I got into the hobby basically by accident around 2015, when I purchased a dome board so bad I had to replace it with something better immediately. Yadda yadda now I build keebs for people and obsess over minute details in switch components.
Inspirational… in its own way.
I love messing with frankenswitches to better understand the medium, and am interested in detail-oriented comparisons between commercial options. Sometimes I find out something useful, and share it with the community – this website grew from a desire to consolidate everything I’ve been learning into an accessible collection of articles, tutorials, reviews, comparisons, and ramblings.
There are as many different switches as there are brands of beer – there’s no way I’ll ever be able to sample them all, but I’m having a blast trying anyway.
About the writer:
Born and raised in Bristol, Tennessee, Dave learned some stuff in Knoxville and now works in the Nashville printing industry. He’s a little weird, but loves to facilitate. An obsessive perfectionist or lost in the clouds, depending on the moment.
