From the Designers

"Smith + Rune basically started as an accident, born out of frustration and with a simple goal of making 5-10 boards for ourselves and friends. What followed after designing the IRON series was completely unexpected! We never in a million years thought of starting a keyboard company, just a solid, simple keyboard and nothing more. With our original goal more than achieved, the question then became where to go from there.

The natural path meant more layouts in the IRON series but we always knew that someday we’d have to release another series. This is probably the scariest moment for a new company. It is both inevitable and risky. How do you essentially start from scratch without relying on the success of your debut creation? Or worse than starting from scratch, how do you engineer something that will 100% be compared to your first design? After many failed ideas and countless other designs we’re finally ready to reveal our latest keyboard, the MAGNUS175, an idea worthy of our name."

Amazing price for an amazing keyboard. Worth every penny.

I was a bit unsure if I wanted to spend my life savings on a keyboard, but after trading in my car and most of the equity on my house, I can certainly say it was worth it. This keyboard is the highest of quality, boasting some of the most premium features you've ever heard of.
After purchasing this keyboard, Kanye West himself came and apologized for lying about the holocaust, Elon Musk gave me a blue check mark, and my wife left me.
Totally worth it.
