Bro Caps · est. around 2011

Still making weird little things.

I started Bro Caps as a hobby on GeekHack because I liked making things for keyboards. Somehow that turned into BroBots, giveaways, odd experiments, a lot of late nights, and a community I never expected.

This is the current home for Bro Caps artisan keycaps, deskmats, and whatever else ends up on the workbench.

A little context

Not really a corporate origin story.

Bro Caps grew out of the mechanical-keyboard community, one experiment at a time. The early years were as much about messing around with ideas, community events, giveaways and new techniques as they were about selling anything.

BroBot became the thing people recognized.
The community made the rest of it matter.
More than a decade later, the goal is still pretty simple: make interesting stuff.
The boring-but-important stuff
