Atomic Keyboard Unveils 'Severance'-Inspired Keyboard With a Missing Escape Key
Closely mirroring the one used by the Macrodata Refinement team (MDR).
Fans of Apple TV+’s Severance can now bring a piece of Lumon Industries home with a new keyboard that mirrors the one used by the Macrodata Refinement team (MDR).
Inspired by the 1977 Data General “Dasher” terminal, the keyboard closely replicates the one seen on-screen. It features the same off-white and blue color scheme, a chunky retro design and a trackball on the right side. Atomic Keyboard built it to be fully functional with a 73-key, 70% layout, but the missing keys are no accident. On the severed floor, there’s no Escape, no Control and no Option, just as this keyboard makes clear. It’s a subtle yet clever nod to the show’s eerie themes.
With Season 2 of Severance gaining momentum and sparking real-world fan events, Apple even joined in briefly, listing a fake “Lumon Terminal Pro” on its website. While that model isn’t for sale, this keyboard is the next best thing.
You can preorder it now through Atomic Keyboard’s website.
