Built for
Builders.
MonkiiBoard started as a late night obsession with custom keyboards and grew into something bigger, a place for everyone who would rather build than buy.

Our GitHubMission
Make custom keyboards accessible to anyone willing to learn.
The custom keyboard hobby can feel intimidating from the outside, with pricey group buys, jargon heavy forums, and builds that look like they need specialist skills. It really does not have to be that way.
Every MonkiiBoard design is documented from top to bottom. We publish the 3D printed plate files, the Arduino firmware, and step by step build guides with real photos. If you want to know why we made a certain design choice, we explain it. If you want to change something, the files are right there waiting for you.
Nothing here is for sale. It's all here to be built.
Where It Started
Two high schoolers,
zero experience,
a pile of wire.
We did not start with a lab or a budget or any real idea what we were doing. We started with a handful of switches, some hookup wire, and a lot of stubbornness. The boards on this page are our earliest attempts, messy solder joints and all, and every single one taught us something the last one got wrong.
If there is one thing we want you to take from MonkiiBoard, it is this. You do not need permission or a fancy setup to build something real. We were two passionate high schoolers who wanted to shake up the peripheral community, and we figured the whole thing out one mistake at a time. So can you.

What We Stand For
Open Source, Always
Every design file, firmware, and schematic we produce is published publicly. No paywalls, no locked files, no exceptions.
Document Everything
A design without a build guide is half a design. We write thorough guides with real photos, not just parts lists.
Community First
Every message that lands in our form is a real conversation. We read all of them and they shape what we design next.
Accessible to Beginners
We write guides for people who have never soldered. You don't need to be an engineer to build a great keyboard.
No Gimmicks
We design for function and longevity. No upsells, no limited drops, no artificial scarcity.
Built to Last
Every decision favors repairability, from open firmware to printable cases you can reproduce at home whenever something wears out.
Build Together.
Join the community sharing blueprints, troubleshooting circuits, and showcasing their builds.
