“Ryan Norbauer is well known in the keyboard community for his aftermarket housings, but the Seneca is his first ready-to-type board.

To hear him tell it, it’s the latest logical step in a decadelong process to build his own endgame #keyboard, of which the business — #Norbauer & Co. — is an almost accidental byproduct.”

“A big part for me of the allure of keyboards is the connection to my childhood nostalgia about being really excited about computing,” 

Norbauer tells me via video chat. So the Seneca is big, chunky, and has a standard tenkeyless layout, rather than something more compact or exotic, because that’s what he’s always used, and what brings back that feeling. “I feel like I can more authentically make an optimal keyboard if the first one I make is exactly the one that I want.”
