What it is
The M Edition is an 87-key tenkeyless mechanical keyboard styled around the visual language of early personal computers. It connects by Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless or USB and includes a separate pair of large Super Buttons that can be mapped without opening software.
Why the design matters
The keyboard does not reproduce one historical machine exactly. Beige and grey keycaps, rotary controls, indicator lights and blue accent keys create a recognisable period reference, while the removable switches, wireless connections and programmable controls place it in a contemporary desk setup.
