About Us

At North Star Haptics, we believe that the tools you use every day should inspire creativity, not just productivity. Whether you’re coding, gaming, writing, or designing, the devices we use to interact with our computers are where ideas meet reality — and those devices should feel as good as they function.

Our journey started, like many great ones, in a basement filled with coffee cups, soldering irons, and late-night debates about stabilizers and switch feel. What began as an obsession over the perfect “thock” evolved into a mission: to build keyboards and custom input devices that connect people to their craft through precision, design, and a deep respect for the art of feel.

We create two distinct kinds of keyboards:

  • Bespoke Keyboards — handcrafted, one-on-one collaborations where every detail reflects you. From switch selection and keycap design to sound tuning and aesthetics, we work together to build something uniquely yours.
  • Curated Collections — in the future, we will be offering small-batch, ready-to-type models designed with the same care and attention as our custom builds. Each board will represent a different take on performance, personality, and purpose.

Other bespoke input devices follow the same pattern. Whether you’re needing a custom arcade stick for that added edge during ranked competitive gaming, or accessibility options that keep you in the zone — we work with you to pick the custom drivers, switches, toggles, buttons, and more along with an aesthetic that is a reflection of you.

We’re a small team of engineers, gamers, and nerds (n of 2 to be exact), who care deeply about the intersection of form and function. We argue over actuation force curves, obsess over acoustics, and occasionally stop to appreciate a keyboard that just sounds right. Every peripheral we ship has been tested, tuned, and refined until it earns a spot under your fingertips.

But we’re not just about hardware. We’re about community — the makers, tinkerers, and creators who share our belief that craftsmanship still matters. Every customer who joins us isn’t just buying an input device for their computer; they’re joining a small but growing family of people who understand that the joy of creation lives in the details.

Our guiding principle is simple: if it doesn’t make you smile when you hit Enter, it’s not done yet.

At North Star Haptics, we’re guided by the same light that’s inspired explorers and dreamers for centuries — the North Star. It’s a reminder to stay true to your direction, to create with purpose, and to never stop reaching for better.

So whether you’re here to collaborate on your dream build or explore our curated lineup, we welcome you to join us down the rabbit hole of sound, touch, and design.
