Hello! What would be a good way to learn about electronics in terms of creating them? I'm particularly interested in building my own keyboards and other PC peripherals, but I'm not sure what tools I would need, or what's a good knowledge base if I run into any issues. Any tips and or suggestions?

You want to get into microcontroller programming somehow. The Raspberry Pi Pico may be a good target to start with. The documentation is well made and you have the choice to either use C++ or Python for programming.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do know a bit of Python, so it should be easier on that front at least.
