MB-44 v2 Keyboard Kit [Pre-Order]
MB-44 v2 refines the original 2021 model with precise engineering updates tailored for 2025 standards. The case’s tolerances have been tightened to deliver a premium fit and finish.
Key improvements include:
- Reduced effective key height (22.2mm vs. 24.6mm)
- Upgraded STM32 PCB replacing the ATmega MCU
- Switch from the C3 to the S1 variant of the Unified Daughter Board.
- Plate mounting updated to implement Geon's Tadpoles from standard top mount.
Additionally, the redesigned PCB and bottom case cavity minimize reverberations, while the brass interior cover plate and accent weight enhance sound dampening and conceal the UDB cable, elevating both acoustics and aesthetics.
Pre-order
Pre-order will take place from November 8 to December 6 or until sold out at a reduced price of $325 before taxes and shipping. The MB-44 v2 keyboard kit will again be available for orders at a price of $350 after pre-orders have begun to ship to customers.
