SECTION_001
Project Overview
Who We Are
KEYDIR.in is a free, non-commercial, community-maintained directory of Indian mechanical keyboard vendors, builders, and brand stores. It is not a shop, not an affiliate platform, and not a company.

This project was created and is maintained by SHADOW269 and community contributors on GitHub. It is hosted on GitHub Pages and funded by no one — there are no ads, no sponsored listings, and no affiliate commissions.

By using this website, accessing its data, or forking its repository, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the project.

These terms apply to the website at keydir.in, the GitHub repository at github.com/SHADOW269/Keydir.in, and any community forks or mirrors that use this codebase.

SECTION_002

  • Reuse portions of the code or design in other non-commercial projects, with credit

  • Selling access to the project, the directory data, or any derived product
  • Monetizing forks or mirrors — including through ad networks, paywalls, or subscriptions

  • Republishing this project as a competing for-profit keyboard directory
  • Including affiliate or referral links in any fork or mirror without explicit written permission
  • Using the KEYDIR.in name, logo, or branding to imply endorsement of any commercial product or service

Attribution Requirements
Credit Required

Attribution is required whenever you use any portion of this project — code, design, data, or content. This applies to forks, mirrors, derivative projects, and any publication that draws from KEYDIR.in.

  • Credit must read: "Based on / Data sourced from KEYDIR.in (keydir.in)" or equivalent
  • A visible link to keydir.in must be included in any public-facing project that uses this codebase or data
  • Attribution must appear in a reasonably prominent location — not buried in a footer comment or source code only
  • GitHub forks automatically satisfy attribution via the fork relationship, but public deployments still require a visible credit

SECTION_005
Directory Data Disclaimer
Read Before Buying
💡
KEYDIR.in is a community directory, not a verified review platform. Always do your own research before purchasing from any listed vendor.

The information in this directory is contributed and maintained by community members. While we make reasonable efforts to keep entries accurate, we make no guarantees about the completeness, correctness, or timeliness of any data.

Directory data may:

  • Change over time — vendors open, close, or change their product offerings without notice
  • Contain mistakes — URLs, categories, or descriptions may be incorrect or outdated
  • Vary from your actual experience — product availability, pricing, and quality may differ from what is implied
  • Omit vendors — this is not an exhaustive list of all keyboard vendors operating in India

Entries marked "Enter at own risk" reflect community-reported concerns about a vendor's reliability, support quality, or business practices. These flags are based on community reports and do not constitute a formal review or legal finding.

You must independently verify any vendor or product before making a purchase. Check reviews on Reddit (r/mkindia), Discord, and other community sources before spending money.

SECTION_006
Limitation of Liability
No Warranty
🛡
KEYDIR.in is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Use of this directory is entirely at your own risk.

KEYDIR.in, its maintainers, and its contributors are not responsible for:

  • Purchase decisions made based on information found in this directory
  • Vendor reliability, responsiveness, or fulfilment of orders
  • Product quality, authenticity, or condition upon delivery
  • Shipping delays, lost packages, or customs issues
  • Financial loss of any kind, including failed transactions or fraud
  • Damages of any kind arising from use of or reliance on this directory
  • Third-party websites linked from this directory — we do not control their content or practices

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, KEYDIR.in disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

SECTION_007

  • You will not submit false, misleading, or defamatory information about any vendor or individual
  • You understand that maintainers may edit, reject, or remove your contribution at their discretion
  • Warning flags submitted about vendors must be based on genuine community experience, not personal grudges or competitor interference
