With a hardwood body, mechanical switches & custom-sculpted keycaps, it's a dream to type on. It comes with source code & a screwdriver.   We spend our days at a keyboard. Most of our nights, too. The keyboard is how we practice our craft. Something even a little bit more comfortable makes a world of difference. Something even a little bit better designed will help us be happier and more productive. Over the years, we’ve tried pretty much every keyboard out there, but never found one we could fall in love with. In late 2012, we set out to build ourselves a better keyboard. Early on, we only wanted to make a couple for ourselves. Of course, early on, we also thought this was a hobby project that was going to take a month. It's taken far longer than we could have possibly imagined. We've had to learn 3D modeling, electrical engineering, soldering, lasercutting, 3D printing, and CNC milling. We've built dozens of prototypes and put them in front of hundreds of enthusiastic folks who type too much, including programmers, journalists, bloggers, writers, and gamers, to name just a few. People keep telling The Model 01 is the best keyboard we can make. It's not like other keyboards. We mill the Model 01's enclosure from TWO BLOCKS OF SOLID MAPLE that are a joy to rest your hands on. Instead of shallow, uncomfortable keyswitches, we use gloriously tactile MECHANICAL KEYSWITCHES similar to those found in the original Apple II. We've CUSTOM-SCULPTED each of the 64 individual KEYCAPS on the Model 01 to gently guide your fingers to the right keys.  After putting it all together, the result is a keyboard that is a pleasure to type on all The first thing you'll notice when you look at the Model 01 is that it doesn't look like any keyboard you've ever seen.  We tried building keyboards out of plastic and metal, but they just didn't feel right. It was important to us that we create something that actually feels good to use. We precision-mill the Model 01 out of two blocks of maple. It's hard to convey in writing just how good it
