@ryan.norbauer and @kentarokameyama this week at the weird and wonderful runway show of their friend and fellow designer @imngo , who dresses Blackpink, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, etc. for music videos and performances. Michael does an amazing job of creating a playful “brand universe,” and it’s fun to watch him play in the escapist aesthetic he has created. This is what we try to do in our own modest ways as well. Los Angeles is such an inspiring place to be a creator and a designer. ❤️🌴
@taehatypes & @ryan.norbauer latest podcast on “Reminiscing about the History of the Keyboard Community” got me all inspired to take some photos. Here’s a massive throwback to Pre-covid days & Cone feet!

Cheers to those fun times and everlasting memories 🫶

Our first podcast episode is out on the @taehatypes YouTube channel! We sat down with keyboard friends @choobiest and @shinshimosawa to reminisce about the good old days of the hobby and how it has changed since its grassroots days.
If theres any future topics you'd like to hear us yap about please let us know 🤓
When @testedcom inquired about the story behind the Seneca, we couldn't have been more thrilled—after all, who better than Adam Savage to have a discussion with on engineering challenges, material choices, and navigating a hobby as a maker?
Our feature is now live on the Tested YouTube channel and if you enjoyed watching our previous video on the stabilizer problem, you won't want to miss this one. It was an absolute pleasure spending an afternoon with the team and thank you for the wonderful video!
The First Edition of the Seneca is now open for public availability.
Just in the first few hours of opening, we already sold through nearly half of our planned 100 units. We were actually surprised by the waitlist response—the size of which far exceeded the entire planned First Edition quantity. Please note that this only extends to mid next week, at which point we'll have to shut down the batch to begin the lengthy parts machining process in any case, even to waitlist participants.
If you have any questions please reach out to us and we'll be happy to answer any questions about the product, customization, shipping, etc.
Seneca: Edition Zero units have finally begun shipping! Each unit, comprised of hundreds of custom-engineered components, is being meticulously assembled by hand by @ryan.norbauer and @taehatypes
Stay tuned to our newsletter for a more public First Edition offering soon.

A little Norbauer & Co. enthusiast mini-meet at Epcot recently. Few things inform my design language more than the 80s futurist architecture and ethos of this very unusual place. Being able to share it with fellow capacitive keyboard nerds made it all that much better. ☺️
#TBT to when I had a bit of spare time on my hands!
Had a bit of an experiment with stencil work, splatter and speckle effects on this awesome @norbauer case.
