Adam recently met Ryan Norbauer, a designer and propmaker who is obsessed with mechanical computer keyboards. He has spent the past five years building what he considers the perfect mechanical keyboard: a beautiful and precisely crafted keyboard called the Seneca. We visited Ryan in his workshop to learn about the technical and mechanical problem solving that Ryan had to do to fix what’s considered a great unsolved problem in the world of keyboards: the distinct clacking of the spacebar.
