Just a heads up but Vortexgear will be making a similarly inspired keyboard. Given the vendor list for their currently running GB, it might be more accessible for you.

Vortex announced their M0110 in September of 2021 and have since gone radio silent about it while going on to announce new keyboards that have since been teased and released. If I had to guess, they’ve axed any plans they once had to release it. I’ve tried contacting them about it to no response. In short, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Are you in their Discord channel? No definite date was been mentioned but they've been posting pics of it since 10/20/2022. The first post in the subchannel is a bunch of pics with the statement "The first phase of M0110 has been completed (keycaps are for reference only)."

You should search on aliexpress

I couldn’t find anything on AliExpress either

Was able to find them on taobao but only with English + Russian legends on the keycaps

I tried OP's search word on Taobao but it didn't return any coherent results. I tried it on aliexpress and it just gave me the same results that I would see if I typed something like "keycaps." Did we get jebaited?

EDIT: the taobao link is in OP's post history. It shows up there even though it was deleted by an automoderataor in this subreddit.

This does not have mechanic switches right ?

Oh no. I really like it.

That looks sick, I have an original M0110, but wouldn't mind snagging a repro like this. I'll have to do some searching on aliexpress then.

Whoa! I love the look of this. Would you mind messaging me the link to this? I tried the searches recommended in the comments but no luck finding this :/

I for sure just drunk ordered an original m0110 off eBay.

I just found an original M0110 from my childhood at my parents house over Christmas. Lots of memories and a sweet board, too.

Got one too! Did you get the solenoid too? I love how it sounds with the solenoid in a hollow plastic case :)

Informal-Mirror-4751 OP t1_j2cwp4d wrote

Of course, I also bought a set of case separately, because it is compatible with third-party 15u standard 60% pcb

The right most key is most likely a Function/layer key with a short shift key immediately to the left of it.

Informal-Mirror-4751 OP t1_j2dozgb wrote

In fact, the keycap does not come with the keyboard. This is a set of keycaps called Simple JA. The shift on the far right switches to the second layer.

Valaaris t1_j2dd999 wrote

I'm so glad I managed to get my hands on the DeskCandy Modern M0110 but now that more repros of the original are coming out, this means I might have a source for replacement parts like the plate. This is great news.

Very nice! Not to crazy about the gold Apple badge. I hope they licensed the use of the logo. Apple is brutal when it comes to legal affairs.

joebeazelman t1_j2fnhn5 wrote

It doesn't matter. If they are marketing and selling a product using Apple's trademark and copyrighted design elements, no matter the volume, Apple can sue the hide off their backs. In this particular case, however, it goes well beyond a contestable infringement which is often handled in a civil court. In this particular case, however, it's a clear act of counterfeiting, a criminal offense punishable by fines and imprisonment.

A reproduction? Whats the case here?, neither a collector item nor a useful keyboard on modern macs.

>It likely will work, but a mess

Depending on your input habits, if 60% keyboards are useless, wouldn’t 40% of keyboard users be unable to surf the Internet at all?

AcostaJA t1_j2dfwiv wrote

There are optimal solutions, a 40-60% has a niche among MacBook users (given F-keys aren't often used), but not for desktop Mac, there are N better mechanical keyboards that doesn't compromise productivity or condition user to rely on keys combinations.

IMHO this keyboard lies closer to fetishism than actual ergonomics .

Informal-Mirror-4751 OP t1_j2dqwxj wrote

As a keyboard that pays tribute to the classic design of the 1980s, you have to bind it with the rules of 2022. Do you think what you said is reasonable? Should the antique books used for decoration be burned because they are not easy to read and retrieve?

Thwop t1_j2ce46v wrote

again unsure of why you think this. you can program these keyboards any way you want.

AcostaJA t1_j2dgb55 wrote

There are much better mechanical Mac keyboards, this is just fetishism vs actually ergonomics/usability. It maybe less harmful on MacBook than desktop where a TKL o 60% won't forced you into key combinations, I use my Mac mostly to code I have an TKL Ctrl keyboard even with custom firmware, this is simple irrational.
