Hello

Let me introduce you to a project me and /u/heroyjenkins have been working on the past few months, the Modern M0110. A modern take on the legendary board Steve Jobs himself designed to go with the original Macintosh, it has sure left its footprint on the community. Not only are people still working on retrofitting modern components in to it to this day, it also inspired Eiiti Wada to design the legendary HHKB. Combining the best of old-school looks and modern typing comfort, this board is sure to convince both your fingers and your eyes.
Machining
It will be milled out of solid aluminium, weighing the board in at +3kg unbuilt! The top-mounted plate will be available in different materials for optimal typing comfort. The case will be compatible with 60% PCBs like the GH60.
Finishing
We’re looking into multiple finishes, from the standard anodising to powder coating and more. Suggestions are always welcome.
Pricing
This is a big one obviously, the model is fairly complex for a keyboard and it uses a hell of a lot of material. Shipping will also be quite costly considering the weight. The price point we’re looking at right now will be quite competitive, however, we want to wait until we have our prototype in hand before we say anything final. As it is right now, pricing for a anodised model included plate will be in the low $200-300 range for sure. The prototype is expected to arrive in less than a week :)
Shipping
As for shipping, I’ll be sure to hit up some familiar faces from the 9009 GB. I hope I can prove again that it’s possible to get a nice keyboard related item without giving your life savings to customs ;D
To-do

  • Finish up on design
  • Order prototype
  • Evaluate prototype
