The World’s greatest keyboard? RD8 engineered it.

The Verge just featured the new Norbauer keyboard—the Seneca: an entirely mechanical keyboard that has been described as the best in the world.

What didn’t make the spotlight? The engineering intelligence behind the Seneca’s space bar.

That’s where RD8 came in. Our team used the RD8 software to help develop two groundbreaking stabilizer mechanisms—each pushing the boundaries of mechanical design.

One became the near-perfect compliant-beam solution; the other, an elegantly engineered hinge system chosen for the Seneca. Engineered for feel, longevity, and uncompromising quality, this design sets a new benchmark in mechanical

keyboards.
