MW MASS 80
Backgrand

Hello everyone, this is MW~
Milkyway known for keycaps, now stepping into kits with MASS 80. After 2+ years of R&D,
we present a TKL engineered around keycap-centric innovation, redefining modularity and interactivity.

MASS 80 Product introdution


1、Smart Interactive Screen: Control, Productivity, Fun
When it comes to typing, constant head-turning or fiddling with menus is the last thing you want. That’s why
the Smart Interactive Screen on the MASS80 was designed differently: Essential features, Right frequency
Operation Demonstration
Double-tap to mute/unmute
Slide to adjust volume
Music mooe
Pomoooro timer
Virtual keys
Live hardware stats
Swipe to change themes
Future-proof
2、Color Options
Anodized Silver
Anodized Jet Black
Anodized Deep Blue
Anodized Orange

Anodized Champagne
Anodized lcy Blue
Anodized Pink
Anodized Red
3、M-Panel: Magnetic Swappable Panel
M-Panel — the heart of personalization on the MASS80. Magnetically attached, it feels seamless and secure,
yet can be swapped in seconds, allowing endless customization possibilities.
4、CNC & Aluminum Body
The MASS80 is crafted entirely from premium 6063 aluminum, and each case is CNC-machined
from multiple complex parts, a process that takes over 20 hours- we never cut corners.
We apply a finer 220-grit sandblasted anodizing, the outcome is a keyboard that doesn’t just
perform—it looks and feels like a piece of craftsmanship made for your desk.

5、3D Gasket Mount: Stability, Comfort, Consistency
Typing on mechanical keyboards can often leave you feeling fatigued.
But with the MASS80, every keystroke becomes an enjoyment.

6、Dedicated High-Level Dye-Sub Keycaps
And of course, we can’t forget what we’ve always been most proud of—our keycaps.
For the MASS80, we’ve created a dedicated set: MW Pixelator.

7、Curvature: Dedicated Wrist Rest for MASS80
TBuilt to complement the MASS80 — a modular backplate, 14 CNC-milled bars, and FR4
reinforcement combine to create a wrist rest that fits your palm perfectly.

8、Front Height

9、Layout

10、SPEC

very interesting. I'd prefer if a traditional nav cluster was possible.

On another note: @keepoto can finally celebrate the release of HHKB TKL LOL

I like the design. To get a big screen and save the useful keys I'd have used a 75% layout and put the screen on the right side. Here I would only get the keys and not the screen, so the added value of that keyboard is lost.

OK this is hot. Also that HHKB layout was NOT something I was expecting to see... I kinda... like it? GLWIC, would love to build with one of these!

interesting. Could traditional nav cluster work?

Looks cool but lack of wireless connection and quick release mechanism is really a pain. I will wait and see.

Looks really cool and the screen integration with the auto detection sounds interesting. I just hope you can implement a quick release mechanism like the catch ball system we've seen on a few recent boards.

This lowkey really cool. Have you thought about offering other modular add-ons in place of a large display? Like save a smaller display that is the top three keys on the nav cluster etc. Anyways this is must me rambling haha but it looks cool. I like the booty on this board a lot.

Would be cool to see to an F12 option. F13 and the screen are my least favourite aspects of this, but still interested overall.

Looks like the screen can be swap out for keys.

The actual photo have some kind of knob, that is something I wish it can also be customized. I am not a fan of having knob on TKL.
