  • Before the commoditization of custom mechanical keyboards, Nachiket's side hustle involved selling hand-soldered mechanical keyboards and handmade coiled LEMO cables.
  • Many of his patent analysis stories have been cited in reputed tech publications, some of which eventually found their way into commercial products.
  • His primary 3D printer is an actively-heated monstrosity that he designed and built to print technical materials such as Nylon and polycarbonate. Over the years, this has allowed him to distribute free 3D printable models ranging from one of the first Apple AirTag cases to 3D-printed liquid cooling chassis conversions for SFF PCs.
