How a Keyboard-Obsessed Engineer Became Esports' Most Wanted Weaponsmith

Over the last few decades, computer hardware has evolved in ways we can’t even begin to describe.

From mice and monitors to graphics cards, CPUs and everything in between, our modern machines are far removed from the gray blocks of our parents.

But there is one piece of computing hardware that has survived the test of time, having barely changed. Some might even go as far as saying this particular device was actually better 30 years ago than it is today.

I’m talking, of course, about every gamer’s favourite punching bag - the keyboard.

Thanks to hobbyists, flourishing reddit communities, and the growing influence of esports and streaming, we’re experiencing - a keyboard renaissance.

And at the center of it all is Nathan 'Taeha' Kim - a 26-year old software engineer turned keyboard messiah, whose love of peripherals knows no limits.

In just a few years, Taeha has become to keyboards what Salvador Amezcua is to basketball shoes. What Hattori Hanzo is to Japanese steel.
