Well. Interesting. Is this an actual venture making a commercial product, though? The website contains no actual information or contact details, and the descriptions all look and sound AI-generated.

Very convincing.

Here’s video of their prototype. With enough interest shown, the plan is to do a Kickstarter.

I so need this, I hope it's legit! Would love to have one of these

That company indeed looks very shady. They seem to be associated with cryptocurrencies and AI, and those things are big warning flags.

The computer terminals in the show had been patterned after the Data General Dasher D1 terminal from 1977. The orignal weren't actual computers: only screen and keyboard. You could connect multiple of these to a Data General mainframe computer.

The keycaps used in the first season of Severance were of the replica keyset "SA Dasher" from Signature Plastics, but with special legends painted on certain keys.
Signature Plastics is a small US-based company that makes relatively small special orders of keycaps, for special-purpose keyboards, and limited editions of keys in certain colour combinations for enthusiasts on their web site PimpMyKeyboard.
"SA" is the name of the keycap profiles they offer. SA Dasher had not been conceived for the show, but after an interest check among keyboard enthusiasts years before. (There is a comparison against the original in the video above)

Signature Plastics has since started to produce keycaps with the special legends from the start: SA Macrodata refinement.
If you don't want to build a replica of the keyboard in the show, the set has all the keys for most modern mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX key switches (or compatible).
