Keymap wizardry: Typing out the Harry Potter saga
Typing out all the Harry Potter books would be crazy, right? What would be the point? Seems like a weird flex even by keyboard enthusiast standards. Yep, that's right. Typing it out once makes no sense. That's why I'm going to type out the books a few million times! For the benefit of humanity and especially of you, fellow keymap wizards.

Given the huge extent of this topic, we can barely scratch the surface here so consider this write-up a mere teaser. Imagine you are an aspiring writer with a brilliant idea, just about to start typing out your magnum opus, staring at a yet empty document on your screen.

There’s quite a lot of crossover between mechanical keyboard and audiophile users so including Ev’s guide still makes sense. If you’re looking to understand more about audiophile products and support a fellow community member, check out the content Ev is making. PS where are the Drop product reviews!? Taekeyboards
Taekeyboards is a well known creator and he just released a review video on the very hype Cyberboard. Many people in the community have been following this board for a while and while the unit shown in this video is a prototype, seeing the keyboard guts is definitely interesting! It’s always nice to see new twists on keyboard design and I hope this inspires new designers to experiment even further. Sara Dietschy
Remember when you put together your first mechanical keyboard? Relive the nostalgia of messing everything up with Sara’s recording of her first mechanical keyboard build. She’s a popular Youtuber and shows off her first mechanical keyboard build and all the confusion that comes with it. Tiny and TaehaTypes make guest appearances in the latter half of the video to impart their expertise to Sara. Like what you see here?
