Overview

The tools we work with deserve the same consideration as the objects we live with. That idea shaped Prologue, a 98% keyboard designed for everyday work with a calm presence on the desk. Something that feels considered in use and still belongs in the room when the work is done.

As principal designer, I worked closely with our small team to bring it to life. The CNC-machined aluminum case pairs rounded corners, chamfered edges, and sculpted surfaces with removable aluminum or hardwood accents. Inside, Mode’s Crown Mounting System uses wave springs and custom components at eight mounting points to guide the assembly’s movement, reduce vibration, and create a lively typing feel with a clean sound.

Prologue comes in six color editions as a kit you assemble without soldering. Choosing your switches, keycaps, and plate lets you tune its feel, sound, and look. I’m proud of the care our team put into every detail, and of a keyboard designed to feel at home among the objects that make a workspace your own.
