Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency matters to us. Here’s exactly how ClickyBoard makes money and how it affects (and doesn’t affect) what we recommend.

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Some links on ClickyBoard are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site running, and it never influences which products we recommend.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a special tracking link provided by a retailer or brand. When you click an affiliate link on ClickyBoard and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral commission. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid by visiting the retailer directly — the commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not your pocket.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”), we are disclosing that ClickyBoard has financial relationships with some of the companies and products mentioned on this website, and may be compensated when readers click links to those merchants and make purchases.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

ClickyBoard participates in affiliate programs including, but not limited to:

  • Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, ClickyBoard earns from qualifying purchases.
  • Affiliate and referral programs run directly by keyboard, switch, keycap, and accessory brands and retailers featured in our Shop, reviews, and guides.
  • Affiliate networks that connect publishers like us with mechanical keyboard vendors.

Not every link on ClickyBoard is an affiliate link, but you should assume that any link to a product or retailer may be one.

How This Affects Our Reviews (It Doesn’t)

Our editorial content comes first. Every review, guide, and recommendation on ClickyBoard reflects our honest opinions based on hands-on testing, research, and experience in the mechanical keyboard hobby. Specifically:

  • We never accept payment in exchange for a positive review or a higher rating.
  • Commission rates play no role in which products we feature or how we rank them.
  • If a product has flaws, we say so — even if it’s one we link to.
  • If a company provides a product sample for review, we disclose it in the article, and it does not guarantee favorable coverage.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running ClickyBoard costs real money and time — hosting, purchasing products to test, photography, and the many hours that go into writing detailed guides and reviews. Affiliate commissions allow us to keep all of our content free to read, without paywalls or intrusive advertising.

Your Support

If you find our content helpful and choose to buy through our links, thank you — it directly supports independent keyboard content. If you’d rather not use affiliate links, that’s completely fine too; you can always navigate to any retailer directly.

Questions?
