About Us
Keyboard Knights was formed in 2020. Our mission is to provide a global network of trusted and vetted technology professionals, businesses and resources.
How it began
The brainchild of three IT professionals with a combined 40 years of technology-related experience, we want to enable businesses and home users to have access to local and national technology resources by creating a directory of trusted and rated technology professionals and businesses.
We want to make our suppliers accountable for their services by actively encouraging our consumers to review the service they received. As moderators we will not allow consistently negatively reviewed organisations or people to remain on our site, giving you confidence that you will receive the highest quality service.
How it works For consumers
You have four directories to choose from: Businesses, Smart Hands, People and Knights. In each area, you will have an interactive map showing people or businesses in either your local area or the location in which you need assistance.

Businesses
Find IT-focused businesses in areas such as audio visual, managed service providers, structured cabling, training companies and more. Deal directly with the businesses, and rate them once they have carried out their services.
Keyboard Knights is not responsible for works any of the businesses provide. All businesses must provide proof of current and valid insurance and certificates for any qualifications and accreditations. Please refer to the site’s terms and conditions for further information.
Smart Hands
If you are a managed service provider, a business or a home user, you can request a visit from a local smart hands operator to a location of your choosing. They will either work directly with a person onsite, or liaise with a remote office and be fully guided by them, optionally as a white labelled service.
All call outs are a minimum of two hours at £65 per hour; we do not charge for travel to or from your premises unless this has been pre-approved due to any extenuating circumstances. Any additional time above the initial two hours will be billed in 30 minute increments at £32.50. Please refer to the site’s terms and conditions for further information.
