About Us
So, What's OZO Anyway?
Ever fall down a rabbit hole so deep you decided to build a shop there? That's us. We're OZO. We started on Etsy because we had a keyboard obsession that got... out of control. Seriously. We're just a couple of computer geeks who are figuring out how to run a business as we go. Think of us as your friendly neighbourhood keyboard suppliers who are just as excited about this stuff as you are.
The Brains (and Caffeine) Behind the Clicks
Jake
Jake kicked this whole thing off in 2022 from a room that probably had more switches than socks. His "let's just try it" attitude is the reason OZO exists.
Russel
Russel is the master of logistics. He sweet-talks suppliers and wrangles shipping containers so all the goodies actually land in the UK. A true hero.
Vitalii
Our automation wizard. Vitalii is the reason our store doesn't look like it was designed in 2002. He makes our products look snazzy and keeps the site running smooth.
The OZO Glow-Up Story
The Big Bang (in a bedroom)
We tripped, fell, and landed on Etsy. Turns out a lot of you liked our custom builds and weird parts. Over 1,000 orders later, we thought, "Huh, maybe this is a thing."
We Got Our Own Keys!
It was time to get our own virtual real estate. Launching ozokeyboards.com was terrifying but awesome, letting us create a proper home for the community.
"Let's Make Our Own Stuff"
Selling cool gear is fun, but making it is way better. We dove into manufacturing and started bugging small studios to make cool, unique stuff with us.
Hanging with the Big Dogs
Mind blown. We started working with keyboard legends like QwertyKeys, Luminkey, & Akko. The mission: get you the absolute best gear at prices that don't hurt.
Sharing the Addiction
We're not just here to sell you things. We want to get properly stuck into the UK scene, running workshops and starting charity projects to share the joy of building. Everyone deserves to create something they're proud of. That's the endgame.
