So... Why the name “Turkey” Boards?

You read that right. “Turkey”, like the bird. I get asked this quite a bit. For one, its unique, this makes it easy to remember, and its a play on words. But, more importantly, I selected “Turkey” because that was my grandfathers favorite animal. He always loved Turkeys and had a collection of Turkey trinkets that he collected over the years. After serving in the Army for over 20 years, as a Combat Engineer, he retired as 1st Sergeant. Everyone he served with referred to him as “Top Turkey”.  He then returned home and started a cleaning business in his home town of Tell City, Indiana which he ran for over 22 years. As a teenager, I worked closely with him in his cleaning business. When he passed away I decided that one day I wanted to run my own business, and when I did I wanted to name it after him. Hence the name, TurkeyBoards.

What we do...

I've always love electronics and being in the IT industry for over 20 years as a sysadmin, I learned to appreciate good technology that was both convienent, flexible, and comfortable to use. Not long ago I learned about split ergo keyboards and I love the low profile mechanical switches. They are very comfortable to type with and I love how easy open source software such as QMK and ZMK is to help you configure your board. I turned my hobby into a small business as it lets me focus on providing affordable options and kits. This lets me tinker more and share my love of electronics with others. So I hope you join the fun.
