CNC-machined 6063 aluminum with a bespoke "Void Black" anodization.

The Blackbook series has always been defined by its "stealth" philosophy—deep blacks, matte textures, and a heavy, premium feel that makes most off-the-shelf keyboards feel like toys. While the v0.3 iterations focused on perfecting the sound profile (the "thock"), the v0.44 is all about Key Specifications at a Glance: Form Factor: 80% (TKL - Tenkeyless)

Tri-mode (Wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4GHz low-latency wireless). Firmware: Fully VIA/QMK compatible for deep customization. What’s New in v0.44? 1. The "Medio" Acoustic Suite blackbook80 v044 by medio ting

In an era of mass-produced plastic, the Blackbook80 v0.44 stands as a reminder of the "buy it once" philosophy. It is built to be serviced, modded, and used for decades. Medio Ting has successfully created a bridge between the "enthusiast" world of custom builds and the "professional" world of high-end office hardware. Final Verdict

Previous versions were praised for their color, but v0.44 introduces a new electrochemical process. The "Void Black" finish is more resistant to fingerprints and oils than its predecessors. It manages to absorb light in a way that makes the edges of the keyboard almost disappear against a dark desk mat. 3. Latency Optimization CNC-machined 6063 aluminum with a bespoke "Void Black"

The standout feature of the v0.44 is the internal dampening. Medio Ting has introduced a multi-layered silicone and poron sandwich that eliminates the "ping" common in metal cases. The result is a sound profile that is muted yet crisp—perfect for office environments where you want the feel of a mechanical board without the disruptive noise. 2. Enhanced Anodization

Medio Ting’s design language is often described as "Architectural." There are no flashy RGB strips or loud branding on the Blackbook80. Instead, you get clean lines, a subtle weight bar on the bottom featuring the signature Medio Ting engraving, and a typing angle (7 degrees) optimized for long-term ergonomics.

For the gamers and high-speed typists, Medio Ting has overhauled the 2.4GHz polling rate. The v0.44 now rivals wired connections in terms of input lag, making it a viable option for competitive play without the clutter of cables. Design Language: Minimalist Rigor
