Switch Customs

REFURBISHED + ONE-OFFS

Second-life keyboards without mystery condition.

Used or repairable boards only get listed after inspection, cleaning, required repair, function testing, and transparent condition notes. Selected boards may be rebuilt into unique Switch Customs one-offs.

SC REFURBISHED + ONE-OFFS

Second-life keyboards. Lower entry prices. No mystery condition.

Switch Customs may source used, returned, incomplete, or non-working keyboards and restore only the units that make sense to repair. Every listing identifies what was repaired, replaced, modified, and tested before sale.

SC REFURBISHED

Repaired, cleaned, tested.

A more affordable way to buy a recognizable mechanical keyboard. The goal is a dependable board with transparent condition notes—not to hide prior use.

  • Full exterior and interior cleaning where practical
  • Function and connectivity checks
  • Known repairs and replaced parts disclosed
  • Condition graded in the product listing
SC ONE-OFF

Refurbished, then made unique.

Selected boards may be rebuilt into individually numbered customs using compatible switches, keycaps, stabilizer work, acoustic tuning, and visual themes.

  • Individually numbered when sold as a one-off
  • Exact parts and modifications documented
  • Photos show the actual unit being sold
  • Once sold, that exact configuration is gone
DONOR + PARTS RECOVERY

Not every board should be forced back to life.

If repair is uneconomical or unreliable, usable compatible parts may be retained for testing or future repairs instead of the board being misrepresented as refurbished.

  • No “fixed” listing unless the finished unit passes QC
  • Dead or questionable components are not reused as known-good parts
  • Major board-level repairs are disclosed
  • Third-party brands remain their original manufacturers
1

Inspect

Identify the exact model, visible damage, missing components, corrosion, connectivity issues, and previous modification attempts.

2

Diagnose + repair

Test the cable path, USB daughterboard or connector, internal cables, PCB, switches or sockets, firmware, and other likely failure points before replacing parts.

3

Rebuild + clean

Restore the board or turn it into a one-off using only compatible parts and board-appropriate tuning.

4

QC + disclose

Test every key and supported connection, document the actual condition, and list the work performed before the keyboard goes up for sale.
