If the screen appears slightly laggy, there’s no need to worry.
This is just an early demo. Our team is actively optimizing the software, and the final version will run at over 35 FPS,
resulting in smooth, fluid motion that’s clearly visible to the naked eye.

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

are you able to display and control your music apps from the screen?

yea I'll buy just for HHKB top

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.

TheManicGeek · « **Reply #5 on:** Mon, 30 June 2025, 18:08:23 »

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!

giraffecrane · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 30 June 2025, 21:03:39 »

interesting. Could traditional nav cluster work?

BloodyEvilWings · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 01 July 2025, 03:20:43 »

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

MonacoKeys · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 01 July 2025, 03:31:51 »

Good looking board and very interesting concept, Congrats :-)

lukninja · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 01 July 2025, 03:51:09 »

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.

BerserKeys · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 03 July 2025, 22:10:25 »

That is really a nice concept and cyberpunk style keyboard we would love to see. Good luck!

Currently only compatible with certain software.

Zahul · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 04 July 2025, 04:00:22 »

I don't even like TKL's and would still consider this. GLWIC!

I'm in!

omf · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 16 July 2025, 22:12:11 »

Looks great!

Randomlosername · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 25 July 2025, 05:39:09 »

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.

Jurapikahhh · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 26 July 2025, 08:12:27 »

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

MILKYWAY KEYS · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 19 September 2025, 05:56:12 »

New actual photos of the Mass 80 have been updated. More colors and detailed accessories will be released together by the end of the month.

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.

I love this idea here
