Ryan Bennett, Founder of 7KEYS
Founder Ryan Bennett, an antique typewriter collector, was deeply inspired by the tactile feel and precision of brass keycaps and mechanical structures during a restoration project. "Why can't modern keyboards capture this essence?" With this question in mind, Ryan assembled a team of engineers and designers to create a mechanical keyboard that seamlessly blends typewriter aesthetics with modern functionality.

7KEYS’ first vintage typewriter-style keyboard went through multiple design iterations, ultimately becoming a bestseller with over 300,000 units sold worldwide. It perfectly replicates the iconic features of a typewriter—lever switches, metal knobs, and round keys. For many users, it’s their first typewriter-style keyboard, offering a timeless design and that satisfying “click-clack” sound that delivers an unmatched typing experience. Each keypress provides a crisp sound and unique tactile feedback, taking you back to an era where just a light tap could let your thoughts flow freely.
