Makhina: A Modular Keyboard Ecosystem by Thomas Dubillot

French designer Thomas Dubillot envisions a new era of creative tools with Makhina, a conceptual modular keyboard system that redefines how artists, designers and developers interact with their digital environments.

More than just a keyboard, Makhina is a flexible creative platform, a system of interconnected modules designed to adapt to each user’s workflow. The central hub, which works as both the brain and the main interface, connects seamlessly to a range of specialized modules like an AI assistant, a stream deck, a 3D control surface for digital artists, an audio module for sound work, and a compositing module equipped with shortcut keys and tactile precision dials.

The system’s aesthetic is sleek and purposeful, merging industrial minimalism with a futuristic tone. Sustainability and open-source potential are other key principles that Thomas kept in mind while designing the platform, allowing it to evolve and expand alongside the needs of its users.
