About Us

About RNDKBD

RNDKBD is a Canadian-owned mechanical keyboard shop based in Calgary, Alberta. We specialize in mechanical keyboard switches, springs, PCBs, stabilizers, modification tools and enthusiast keyboard kits.

Everything ships directly from our Calgary warehouse, with local pickup available for Calgarians and worldwide shipping for everyone else.

Enthusiast parts, backed by real expertise

RNDKBD was built around a simple idea: enthusiast keyboard parts should be sold by people who actually understand them.

We put an emphasis on meaningful specifications, compatibility information and honest explanations of how products feel, sound and function. Whether you’re comparing tactile switches, choosing a spring curve, finding a compatible PCB or planning your first custom build, you can get help from the same people who use their same products in their own keyboards.

Andy’s background as a mechanical engineer informs much of that approach. We care about the small technical differences because, in a keyboard build, those differences are often the entire point.

Official partnerships and exclusive products

RNDKBD works directly with several respected designers and manufacturers in the mechanical-keyboard community.

  • SPRiT: RNDKBD is SPRiT’s official worldwide partner and the only retailer carrying the complete SPRiT spring catalog. This includes Supreme, Slow Extreme, Progressive, Multistage, Complex, MX, ALPS, Choc and specialty spring families. Browse SPRiT springs.

  • Gazzew: RNDKBD is the exclusive Canadian retailer for Gazzew switches, including the Boba U4 silent tactile, U4T tactile, U4Tx half-thock, LT linear and other specialty components. Browse Gazzew switches.

  • RNDKBD x Studio Kestra: The Galatea TKL Hotswap PCB provides a modern H87/H88-compatible platform with flexible layouts, QMK/VIA support and multiple connection options.

RNDKBD is also home to Ultraglide mechanically broken-in switches, we are considered the authority on broken-in and mechanically actuated switches.

A Canadian shop with worldwide reach

Orders are packed and shipped from Calgary, Alberta. We offer local pickup, Canadian and US shipping options, and international delivery through Canada Post and DHL.

RNDKBD is independently owned and operated. When you contact us, you’re speaking directly with the people who run the store—not a remote support department reading from a script.

Hi, We're Andy and Marina

Andy

  • I'm a Mechanical Engineer from Red Deer turned keyboard dealer.
  • I'm a father of 8 (3D printers).
  • If I'm not packing orders or tuning printers, I'm riding bikes, watching/playing basketball, and/or enjoying a couple cold ones. Fantasy basketball is for losers.

Marina

  • I'm a Psychometrist from Vancouver turned keyboard dealer.
  • I'm a mother of 1 (crochet hook).
  • If I'm not packing orders or crocheting, I'm crocheting. I'm also better than Andy at fantasy basketball.
