Just here to ask -- for a friend, naturally -- why this is marked NSFW.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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)."

Yooo that box art gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had. Never remembered it but memory unlocked as soon as I saw it.

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.

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 .

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.

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?

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.

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.
