Dock your RISC OS portable and make it a desktop
This is a premium TKL (Ten Key Less - it has no
numberpad to the right) mechanical keyboard that
combines classic build quality with advanced individual
key lighting control. Designed and manufactured with a
UK layout, it uses Cherry’s industry-leading MX switches
to deliver consistent tactile feedback, long-term durability,
and a typing experience that feels both precise and
familiar. The refined case design is compact and
understated, providing the look of a modern desktop
keyboard.
Every key on the keyboard features its own individually
addressable RGB LED, allowing complete control over
colour and brightness directly from the keyboard itself -
no additional software is required. Through simple
onboard key combinations, users can assign colours,
create highlights, or define their own static or dynamic
lighting effects entirely in hardware. This makes it easy to
recreate the look of a backlit Acorn A3000 keyboard, with
its distinctive contrasting key tones, or to emulate the
A3010’s softer, colour-accented style. You can even
assign per-key colours that match your favourite RISC
OS applications or highlight frequently used shortcuts.
The keyboard supports true n-key rollover, anti-ghosting,
and full-speed USB connectivity, ensuring reliable
performance even under heavy input. The keycaps are
laser-etched for longevity, and the overall construction is
robust enough for continuous professional or enthusiast
use.
For those who appreciate the heritage of the Acorn
desktop but want the flexibility and precision of a modern
mechanical keyboard, it offers a unique blend of classic
inspiration and contemporary engineering. With fully
hardware-controlled per-key backlighting and Cherry’s
legendary mechanical switch performance, it provides an
ideal platform for users looking to combine nostalgia with
the best of today’s keyboard technology.
