Angry Miao launches CYBERBOARD Terminal Mechanical Keyboard

On April 27, 2022, Angry Miao officially released CYBERBOARD Terminal, a new custom mechanical keyboard inspired by Terminal. It also marks the first time a translucent integrated Gasket Mount is used in a mechanical keyboard. The official retail price of the Base Kit is 600 USD, while the Bundle (engraved and non-engraved) is priced at US $810. CYBERBOARD Terminal will be available worldwide through Angry Miao's official website (angrymiao.com) in limited quantities, starting April 28, 2022 at 10:00 am (PDT).

Terminal is the control window into the virtual world, and has been widely used in numerous sci-fi film and television works. Unique elements such as the blinking underscore in command-line interfaces, the digital rain and the black and green dynamic lighting effects are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. CYBERBOARD Terminal uses custom made semi-transparent black PC material that doesn't require painting. This improved production process is not only more eco-friendly, but also ensures higher stability and greater durability.
In terms of dynamic lighting effects, CYBERBOARD Terminal incorporates Digital Rain, which symbolizes the command-line. It flies across the LED panel like it's on an endless search for information, and with a special afterimage effect visible with each keystroke, it symbolizes a geeky atmosphere.

By combining the custom PC material and its black background with green characters together with its unique LED panel and in-switch LED lighting, CYBERBOARD Terminal thrillingly immerses users into retro futuristic hacker world.

Advanced translucent gasket with integrated design
When it comes to improved feel, Angry Miao makes a bold move by implementing a translucent gasket structure with integrated design. The Gasket Mount is directly integrated into the PC material keyboard. Besides ensuring a good typing experience, the materials and appearance on the inside are also further refined.

Different from previous iterations of Angry Miao's Gasket Mount, level 10 silicone hardness is used. The silicone is integrated with the plate through in-mould injection, which not only looks more transparent by blending in with the keyboard's overall design, but also makes it sound less hollow and gives it a more solid feel.

Mirror PVD stainless steel weight plate
Unlike metal, semi-transparent PC material brings an extremely cool RGB lighting effect experience. To achieve the same substantial feel as when using metal, a counterweight is used.

The counterweight used in CYBERBOARD Terminal features a radical design, with the weight plate being visible from the outside. Its mirror PVD stainless steel surface occupies most of the bottom area. Exposed reflective stainless steel forms a stark yet dazzling contrast with the matte PC material.

Exclusive black keyboard case
In addition to a redesign of the keyboard itself, Angry Miao also designed a black on green keyboard case for CYBERBOARD Terminal, to achieve a full hacker experience.

Community co-creation
It's worth mentioning that CYBERBOARD Terminal product photography has been carried out in collaboration between Angry Miao and its community. Through Angry Miao's DAO platform, community users who are interested in creating high-quality content are invited to participate.

DAO is an organizational form derived from the core idea of blockchain. It's built upon the principles of co-creation, co-construction, co-governance and collaboration. Angry Miao users can participate in the co-creation of products at all stages of the product process, and get actively involved in product optimization, iteration and innovation.

Based on the "Future Art Community" brand concept, Angry Miao drives the development of their brand forward together with their users. Based on the contribution of each user, "MIAO COIN" rewards will be issued in the future, which will also be voted on through Angry Miao's DAO platform. This is to let their valuable users grow together with the brand and become more than just "spiritual shareholders".

Ah, the terminal. It's indeed been a fine way of displaying how to hack into massive mainframes with a code or two... now with a $800 keyboard to show off to your lamer buddies down Discord!

I've heard some notorious things online... like a person needing some $1500-2000 to build a good custom keyboard, the amount of stupid is off the roof when it comes to keyboard clubs. Staying far away is the best.

On the other hand, I've been really loving my Leopold. Stems, switches... all feel very solid and actuates with very little force. Granted it was an expensive board around $250, but it is an actual no frills keyboard.

To be fair it's a screen as well, and the quality and execution looks pristine.

I know plenty of people who spent 150+ just to get themself a custom machined weight plate with their name on it. So they can mount it on the back of their 1000+ custom keyboards and then never see it again.
Its a weird part of the internet. A place where 400 dollars for a keyboard is considered a good deal, and where group buys = everyone pays more the more people order one, rather than less. etc. etc.

On the other hand, I also know people with whole racks of 10 dollar keyboards from aliexpress, one color for each day of the month. At least they were cheap.

Or a cable that reminds you of a massive Neutrik cable meant for powering bass speaker cabinets on the back of a keyboard...

don't get me started on "group buys" either. These keycults are nothing short of cringe and the further you stay away from them, the more time you'll have saved.

Well this is the Fagomfer FICIHP, and it has a 12.6" touchscreen with a 1920x515 resolution at 60Hz, and it is only $389, so that much smaller, non-touchscreen can't add that much to the price.

"Only" $400. Chances are they make that low profile board for much less, then attach that cheap monitor and shove the price up. What's the point of the %60, anyway? Let's just stick a 12 inch screen on top.

I can picture the keyboard snobs jizzing in their pants already. Even if I was a hardcore keyboard "enthusiast" I still wouldn't be caught dead blowing all that money on a fucking keyboard.

"I'm upside down on both my car payments and the mortgage AND I'm existing on cat food, but at least I have this super fugly keyboard that I can show off to all of my fellow keeb snobs! Only cost me $800!" :D

I quite like the design and the keyboard layout, yet the entire thing is just way too bulky in my eyes. It has also been reported as a fingerprint magnet, which is a no-go at this price point.

indeed that one is worth of his price given that is a real screen on it ...
