Welcome to today’s tech update! The hit sci-fi thriller Severance on Apple TV+ has inspired a unique tribute: a limited-edition keyboard called the Macrodata Refinement (MDR) Dasher Keyboard, created by Atomic Keyboards.
This keyboard features a striking 73-key, 70% layout, highlighted by a built-in trackball and directional keys, but notably lacks the Escape key—a nod to the show’s stifling setting in a fictional corporation. As Atomic Keyboards puts it, “no Escape, no Control, and no Options keys (Praise Kier).” If you're a fan of retro tech, you’ll appreciate that this design reimagines the Data General 6053 ‘Dasher’ Terminal from 1977.
The MDR Dasher isn’t just a nostalgic piece; it also comes with modern updates, including USB Type-C compatibility across Windows, Linux, and macOS. While the exact price is still under wraps, Atomic Keyboards hints it’ll be close to $399.
For fans of Severance, this keyboard promises to bring a piece of the show’s eerie atmosphere right to your desk. Stay tuned for more updates on this niche yet stylish accessory!
