Keyboard enthusiasts testing keyboards at a meetup

Finnish Mechanical Keyboard Community

The hobby is nice but the community makes it better.

What is the Finnish Mechanical Keyboard Community?

I’m one of the founders and a main administrator of FMKC. Our first organised meetup had three participants. The community grew with each gathering and now connects keyboard enthusiasts and vendors across Finland.

Today, FMKC brings together:

Over 1,300 Discord members
Several active Finnish keyboard vendors
Meetups that have steadily grown the community

Explore meetups, projects, and the Discord community on FMKC’s own site.

FMKC Website

FMKC’s event information and links originally lived on olli.works. As the community grew, I built fmkc.fi to give them a dedicated home. The site is open source, and contributions are welcome through pull requests.
