Two weeks ago, we learned about Atomic Keyboard’s MDR Dasher Keyboard, a keyboard based on the Lumon Terminal Pro terminals used in the Apple TV+ show Severance. The company plans to sell it, and you can sign up for more information, though pricing and availability have yet to be determined.

But Atomic Keyboard is hard at work on the project. This week, they’ve released a couple of videos where you can see the keyboard up close. The first video was posted several days ago and shows the keyboard layout and someone using the keys and trackball. Turn on the volume, and you can hear the key switches in action.

The second video posted on Wednesday, and it’s from Atomic Keyboard’s booth at the ZFX Shanghai Keyboard Meetup (TIL: people gather at events specifically for keyboards). You can get another close look at the product and see people using it.

If those two videos have captured your interest, you can let Atomic Keyboard know by filling out the MDR Dasher Keyboard Interest Check form. Atomic Keyboard wants your input (excuse the pun) on what features the MDR Dasher should have. For example, should it be wired or wireless> Do you want the Severance key layout (and stay true to the show), or a Standard layout (and actually be able to do work)? It’s a two-minute form, so if you truly want this, fill it out.

One interesting thing revealed by the form is somewhat vague pricing information. While the price has yet to be finalized, the form states that “the early bird price will be no more than $399 (with tiered pricing up to $699).” No more than $399? Yikes, even under that, it’s an expensive keyboard. To top it off, the form states that the whole tariff drama could affect the price, since the keyboard will be made in China.

According to Atomic Keyboard, the MDR Dasher Keyboard is inspired by the Data General Dasher 200, a computer terminal from the 1970s. Atomic Keyboard originally posted that the MDR Dasher “boasts a unique 73-key, 70% layout with no Escape, no Control, and no Options keys” but that could change if enough people tell the company that a Standard layout is preferable.

The MDR Dasher Keyboard will be available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. If the MDR Dasher Keyboard isn’t for you, check out our best Mac keyboards.

Let’s say your best buddy–we’ll call him Pietro–uses an Android phone. To each his own, you say. The problem is, Pietro, who doesn’t own a TV and watches shows on his phone (like I said, to each his own) doesn’t subscribe to Apple TV+ because there’s no Android app for that. This means when you excitedly call Pietro after watching the latest episode of Severance that dropped on Friday, you can’t talk about it. Instead, you have to ask him how’s he doing, how the kids are, what he had for dinner, whatever. Ho hum.

But today is your (or Pietro’s) lucky day. Apple has released the Apple TV app on Android and it’s now available on the Google Play store. It provides access to all Apple TV+ content, as well as MLS Season Pass. A subscription is required for Apple TV+, which costs $9.99/£9.99 per month; MLS Season Pass is an additional subscription fee, but does not require an Apple TV+ subscription (learn more about MLS Season Pass). Apple TV+ also offers TV shows and movies available to rent or buy but The Verge reports that you cannot access the store from within the Android app. Users on Reddit say that previously purchased shows can’t be accessed, either.

The Verge also points out that the Apple TV app for Android is optimized for foldable phones, which Pietro loves to brag about (“Crease? That’s not a crease,” he likes to say). Google’s Dan Seifert posted that the app also has a themeable app icon, picture-in-picture support, as well as offline downloads. So your Android-using buddy really has no excuse for missing out on one of the best shows of the year and a bunch of other great Apple TV+ content. Unless the lack of casting support in the app is a dealbreaker. Then you’re just going to have to go back to chatting about the weather.

thrilled to see Apple TV land on Android devices today!it’s an excellent Android citizen too:themeable app icon: PIP support: offline downloads: foldable posture support: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv
