About:
MKS is a graphical mechanical keyboard simulator that allows users to design, visualize, and test custom keyboard layouts in a virtual environment. It provides a real-time rendering of key configurations, switch types, and layout ergonomics without requiring physical hardware. The tool helps enthusiasts prototype complex builds and experiment with different form factors before committing to manufacturing.
Key Features:
  • Real-time 3D keyboard visualization
  • Custom layout design and editing
  • Switch and keycap configuration
  • Layout testing and validation
  • Export capabilities for fabrication
Use Cases:
  • Prototyping custom mechanical keyboard layouts
  • Testing ergonomics and key placement before building
  • Visualizing different switch and keycap combinations
Alternatives:
  • Keyboard Layout Editor – Web-based tool focused on layout generation rather than 3D simulation
  • KLE (Keyboard Layout Editor) – Primarily for 2D layout rendering, lacks 3D visualization features
