Nathan Taeha Kim, 24, is at the leading edge of the high-end, personalized mechanical keyboard movement. Nathan has found a unique niche that is attracting increasing interest from the gaming community. He has built bespoke mechanical keyboards for some of the best gamers in the world, including Fortnite superstar Turner “Tfue” Tenney. Bolstered by his success, he has given up his programming career at IBM to dedicate himself full-time to his company, Taeha Types. A Nathan-built keyboard can run up to USD3,500! The Verge visited Nathan’s home studio in Corona, California, to talk about this rapidly-growing on-line community (see the video, below). What do these keyboards sound like? You’ll find the answer in these videos, since Nathan produces one “ASMR” video for each one of his keyboards.
