With a similar white and blue aesthetic, they embodied the cathode-ray clicky keyboard bakelite generation of tech from the 70s and 80s, which I believe adds to Severance\u2019s mystique and appeal. You marvel at the designs on the show, without really being able to place them in a defined year. Is Severance a period sci-fi show? Is it futuristic? Current day? You can\u2019t really tell.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re looking for a taste of the severed lifestyle, Atomic Keyboards is now selling a replica of the MDR keyboard from the series. It\u2019s built to be absolutely usable, with a 73-key, 70% layout\u2026 but with no Escape, no Control, and no Options keys. Sound familiar? Also, please try to enjoy each keystroke equally.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atomickb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atomic Keyboard<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-545813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"983\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/13\/you-can-now-preorder-the-severance-keyboard-but-it-ships-without-an-escape-key\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"You Can Now Preorder the Severance Keyboard \u2013 But it Ships Without an Escape Key\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-545813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"983\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/13\/you-can-now-preorder-the-severance-keyboard-but-it-ships-without-an-escape-key\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"You Can Now Preorder the Severance Keyboard \u2013 But it Ships Without an Escape Key\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"32a039456e18fb52d84a83f3-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"32a039456e18fb52d84a83f3-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Severance has really managed to cultivate a hardcore audience over the past few months, with Season 2 vastly outpacing its first season in crowd appeal and anticipation. Severance\u2019s crew made multiple pit-stops across the world, with crowds thronging to attend themed events. In fact, Apple\u2019s website even has a listing for the \u2018Lumon Terminal Pro\u2019, playing perfectly into the hype.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re looking for some Severance memorabilia or merch, there\u2019s nothing much Apple offers. You could sign up for a Neuralink chip but I would highly recommend against it. The closest second step is buying the MDR Dasher Keyboard, which Atomic Keyboard\u2019s built to perfectly replicate the peripheral from the series. It comes with the exact same shape and color scheme, the same keys, and the same trackball on the right. There is, however, a palpable lack of a few keys, like an escape, control, or alt key. Because on the severed floor, there\u2019s no escape, no sense of control, or no alternative. Praise Kier.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-545814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1361\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/13\/you-can-now-preorder-the-severance-keyboard-but-it-ships-without-an-escape-key\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"You Can Now Preorder the Severance Keyboard \u2013 But it Ships Without an Escape Key\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-545814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1361\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/13\/you-can-now-preorder-the-severance-keyboard-but-it-ships-without-an-escape-key\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"You Can Now Preorder the Severance Keyboard \u2013 But it Ships Without an Escape Key\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/severance_mdr_keyboard_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The MDR Dasher Keyboard is up for preorder if you\u2019re interested in a unique peripheral that\u2019s *somewhat* useful. Typing should be fairly comfortable, given the cherry-esque keycaps and (presumable) mechanical switches. Use it to send mails, sort \u2018scary\u2019 numbers, or tell your annoying colleagues to devour feculence. Don\u2019t blame us if you get reported to Ms. Huang\u2026 or worse, get sent to the Break Room. You can, however, blame your Outie instead. I hear that works.<\/p>\n<p>The keyboard\u2019s original price was listed as $399, but it\u2019s safe to assume that tariffs have thrown the tech world in a bit of a tailspin.
