Your First Minutes
- Roll for keycaps. When you first spawn in, your main action is rolling for keycaps. Each roll is a chance to collect a keycap for your keyboard. Some are rarer than others.
- Watch your cash grow. As you collect keycaps and complete actions, you earn cash. This is your core currency for everything else in the game.
- See the farm in action. Your keyboard and keycaps are displayed visually. As you progress, your setup becomes more elaborate.
Core Mechanics
Rolling keycaps is how you build your keyboard collection. Each roll costs cash and gives you a keycap. Keep rolling to find rarer ones and fill your keyboard.
Hire workers to automate your farm. Workers generate cash for you passively, even when you close the game. The more workers you hire, the faster your offline earnings grow.
Upgrade your setup by spending cash. Upgrades make your rolls more valuable, speed up your workers, or expand the keyboard itself. Plan your upgrades based on what you want to achieve.
Earn cash through rolling, worker production, and completing upgrades. Climb the leaderboards by accumulating wealth faster than other players.
Offline Earnings
One of the best features: your keyboard keeps earning money when you're not playing. This means you can close the game and come back to a pile of cash from your workers.
Hire workers early and often. The more workers you have before logging off, the more you'll earn while you're away.

Early Strategy
Spend cash on workers first. Your initial earnings are slow. Hiring workers early speeds up everything else. Each worker is an investment that pays off.
Don't hoard cash. Money sitting idle doesn't help. Spend it on workers and upgrades to accelerate your progress.
Check the leaderboard. See where you rank among other players. This gives you a goal to chase and shows you how your farm compares.
Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Don't forget to hire workers. Some new players just roll keycaps and ignore workers. Without workers, you can't earn money passively, and you'll fall behind quickly.
Don't ignore upgrades. Upgrades make your rolls cheaper or your workers faster. They pay for themselves over time.
Don't waste rolls early. Rolling is tempting, but balance it with hiring workers. A worker earning cash all night is often worth more than one extra keycap.
