Who would have thought the lack of an Escape key would become a fetish. But fans of the Severance series (Apple TV+) know: in Lumon, you don't leave - you stay. Atomic Keyboard decided to turn that into a real product.

Here's What We Know

Atomic Keyboard has finally unveiled the price tags for the MDR Dasher Keyboard, its replica of the legendary keyboard from the series, based on the keyboard from the Lumon Industries office. And like everything in the series, it's both appealing and intimidating: no Escape, no Control, no Option. But there's a trackball, mechanical keys, and total immersion in the office nightmare.

Price? From $599 to $899, depending on when and where you buy it:

  • $599 - early access for first time users + free desk mat
  • $649 to $699 on Kickstarter.
  • $899 - on regular sale starting November 2025

Layout options - for every personality type, inside and out

Innie module (submission mode)
Completely replicates the keyboard from the TV series. No Escape, no Option, no Control. Your inner personality will run without the ability to exit, minimise or even think about comfort. Lumon-inspired minimalism: only what you need - and nothing extra. Perfect if you want to feel what it's like to be an "innie".

Outie module (freedom mode)
A modern 60% layout with familiar keys. Suitable for everyday work, but still visually refers to the Dasher style. The keys are full-fledged, the trackball is in place, but finally you can press Escape - as if you had left the Lumon office.

Dasher module (retro mode)
An almost exact replica of the original Data General Dasher 200 keyboard - the very one that became the prototype for the TV series. Retro design, unusual key signatures and a complete aesthetic flashback to the terminal era. Not for everyone, but old-school fans will appreciate it.

The keyboard connects via USB-C and supports macOS, Windows, and Linux. All modules are magnetically attached, so you can change them in seconds. It comes with mechanical switches, custom keycaps and a built-in trackball. You choose not just a layout, but a whole identity. The bundle obviously doesn't come with a sense of anxiety - but it's easily caused by the lack of familiar keys.

Why is it so expensive?

Because it's not just a keyboard, but a cultural artefact. An atmosphere of retro tech, office isolation and fan nostalgia. Reddit is already ablaze with emotion: "That's it. I'm quitting my job and joining Lumon".
