Apple brings the retro-futuristic Lumon Terminal Pro from Severance to life on its website in a clever blend of fiction and marketing magic.

If you ever wanted to work like an innie from Severance, Apple just handed you a green-screen fantasy on a CRT platter. In a delightfully bizarre twist, Apple recently featured the Lumon Terminal Pro — yes, the exact computer from the dystopian world of Severance — on its official Mac page. The kicker? It isn’t real… but that hasn’t stopped fans from wanting one.
The Lumon Terminal Pro is peak retro-futurism. It sports a chunky off-white case, monochrome green CRT screen, and a keyboard that looks like it was salvaged from an ’80s sci-fi set. There’s even a trackball. It’s clunky. It’s beautiful. It’s confusing. And it’s perfect.
The keyboard, in particular, is what dreams (and nightmares) are made of. Mechanical fans rejoice: it’s loud, heavy, and includes no Escape key. That’s right — no escape — a delicious nod to the show’s eerie premise. Control and Option keys? Gone. You’re in the Macrodata Refinement department now. Type accordingly.
Of course, this is all a clever Apple stunt to promote Severance Season 2. Clicking “Buy” won’t get you the Terminal Pro, but a redirect to a behind-the-scenes look. Still, the internet exploded. Reddit threads, memes, and mockup mods lit up with fans asking: “Why isn’t this a real product?”
Well, we’ve got good news.
While Apple’s Lumon Terminal Pro is fictional, we’re bringing it to life.
Introducing the MDR Dasher Keyboard — a faithful, working mechanical keyboard inspired by the Terminal Pro’s retro vibe. Think thick keycaps, authentic layout, built-in trackball, and yes… still no Escape key. Whether you’re a Severance superfan or a retro tech lover, this is your chance to own the keyboard that Apple only teased.
