The Smurve80 R2 Lume Edition – the first mass-produced MX keyboard with a genuinely curved injection-moulded case, inspired by the IBM Model M. New is the semi-translucent, frosted case in First Light or Last Night: the internals show through softly blurred, and the RGB spills out as a gentle glow.

Inside: gasket mount, aluminium plate, hot-swappable, south-facing RGB, VIA supported, a built-in solenoid module for typewriter-like rhythm and feedback to every keystroke, and tri-mode (USB-C, 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth) with an 8000 mAh battery.

The Lume Edition comes fully assembled in ANSI – switches (three to choose from) and keycaps are pre-installed, plus a grey coiled cable and the Glint Key.

  • HMX Retro Sakura Silent. Quiet, soft silent linear with no bump, great for the office or late nights. Silent linear, factory lubed | 42 gf actuation | 48 gf bottom-out | 2.2 mm pre-travel | 3.7 mm total travel | 22 mm single-stage spring
  • Cherry MX Honey. Silent tactile with a clear bump and a hushed sound. Silent tactile, factory lubed | 45 cN actuation | 55 cN bottom-out | 1.9±0.4 mm pre-travel | 3.7±0.4 mm total travel

About the included add-ons

  • Cable changed to the grey coiled cable in R2
  • Every Lume Edition comes with a Glint Key, a silver glitter keycap with a blank top (still sampling).
