I own an embarrassingly large number of Topre keyboards, typing right now on one I just got this week. This is beyond insanity.

A grey keyboard with dark grey modifier keys, white alphas, and pink Esc and Enter keys. It's a thick, slab-like board that almost looks like it's cast in cement. It has a coiled cable.

The $3,600 keyboard that’s optimized for joy.

I’ve spent the past week typing on an early unit of the Norbauer Seneca, a mechanical keyboard that’s entirely custom, from its Topre-like electrocapacitive switches to its astonishingly smooth stabilizers. I also spoke at length with its creator about the process of making the board and why it’s so damn expensive. Stay tuned next week, feel free to ask about it in the comments, and meanwhile: just look at this keyboard.
