TMOv2 INTEREST CHECK
Hi everyone!
It’s been bit over
a year since TMO50 group buy happened. Ever since that time
I’ve been thinking about running it again. I couldn’t but I
really wanted to.
People have asked me privately and
publicly about if and when R2 would be happening and the
only real answer was that something WILL happen! So here it
is!
TMOv2
Design choices
Year in our community is a long time in terms of
design trends. Mounting types, material options for cases
and plates, colourways, switches, even layouts.
TMOv2
was inspired by both older boards and newer trends alike to
accompany the current design language yet still paying
homage to those keyboards that started it all.
Keeping
the same signature layout, thin bezels and front lip from
TMO50 was a priority since the start.
Features
-
100% base kit compatible (/*)
QMK compatible USB-C PCB, designed by Upas
22(!) underglow RGB LEDs
Top mount construction
7 degree typing angle
-
Brass weight
( /*) - Most GMK and EPBT keyset base kits -
Layout & key mapping*
Thinking about TMO50s huge cutout in the middle row, we knew there must be a better way. Looking over the idea that TMO50 is a “base kit compatible” sub60% I must admit it was only 96% true.
Either you go with off-stagger and have two 1.5u mods in the middle that aren’t the correct profile or you go with regular stagger and still have a 1.25u mod that’s not the right profile.
By making TMOv2 layout only 0.5u wider it becomes a 100% “base kit compatible” sub60% with regular stagger and correct profile keycaps on all 50 keys!
TMO is all about YOU making it your own. From keysets to artisans to keymapping. With QMK you’re encouraged to make TMOv2 fit your typing style. Stock keymapping is only there to be a sane “default” and it’s the one I’ve been using daily.

Included in the base kit*
Keyboard case (Aluminium OR Polycarbonate)
Keyboard plate (Sandblasted brass)
Weight (Sandblasted brass)
TMOv2 USB-C PCB, designed by Upas
Plate and case screws
3M rubber bumpon feet
TMO stickers
-
“Frog on a log” artisan by SPARKLE PONY (Exclusive to US Polycarbonate case orders)
-
Add-ons*
You’ll have the option to order: extra PCBs,
-
plates (Sandblasted brass & tranlsucent clear polycarbonate),
translucent clear bottoms
-
Case colours*
Going with “what’s in” right now we think that these colours fit most keysets out there. Please keep in mind that a photo/render/Pantone code won’t be 100% exact IRL colormatch and there can be slight difference. -
Translucent smoky(/*) PC
( /*) - Smoky PC will be darker -
//*** - For some aluminium colour (red, blue gray) examples refer to Equinox.
