MB-44 v2

The MB-44 v2 is an updated version of a premium 40% mechanical keyboard originally launched in 2021. This new iteration features a complete redesign of both the case and PCB, enhancing the overall fit and finish for a high-quality typing experience. Key improvements include a reduction in effective key height from 24.6mm to 22.2mm, an upgrade from ATmega to STM32 for the PCB, and a switch to the S1 variant of the Unified Daughter Board (UDB). Additionally, the design incorporates a brass interior cover plate for sound dampening and a refined case structure to minimize reverberations. The MB-44 v2 maintains its fun 65%-like blocker and offers a layout that includes a full 6.25u spacebar and various split bar options. The plate material is FR4, with files available for those wishing to use different materials. The kit is priced at $350 plus shipping, with clear anodization as the default color option, and potential for additional colors based on interest.
