Description

Name Origin – Why “Smurve”

The name Smurve is derived from the combination of “Smile” and “Curve.” The gentle curve of the keyboard resembles a subtle smile—a visual expression of warmth, approachability, and enjoyment.

Smurve is designed to be a keyboard that makes users smile not through novelty, but through comfort, familiarity, and the simple pleasure of typing.

It reflects the idea that a well-designed keyboard should feel natural, friendly, and satisfying from the very first keystroke.

This philosophy is also reflected in the Smurve logo, where the curved line echoes both the physical shape of the keyboard and the smile it aims to create.

Intro

Smurve80 is the first mass-produced mechanical keyboard to feature a genuine curved injection-molded plastic case, purpose-built for MX-style switches.

Inspired by the iconic IBM Model M, Smurve80 is not a replica, but a contemporary reinterpretation that brings classic curved design into the modern mechanical keyboard landscape. It blends retro-inspired form, ergonomic comfort, and modern usability, and features a built-in solenoid typewriter-like sound module that adds distinctive rhythm and character beyond conventional flat keyboards.

Genuine Curved Comfort

Smurve80’s curve is not merely a visual element—it defines the entire typing experience.

The sculpted surface follows a gentle arc that naturally aligns with the hands, helping reduce strain during long typing sessions.

It is a curve you recognize instinctively, much like a smile—subtle, but immediately felt.

Solenoid Module

Smurve80 features a built-in solenoid typewriter-like sound module, adding an extra layer of retro character and tactile feedback—bringing rhythm and personality into every keystroke.
