Made from a generic $8 keyboard, 104 buttons, acrylic resin, photo-paper, vinyl, and some metallic spray paints.

For a step by step breakdown of the process see my LiveJournal .

[edit 071230] - I replaced the picture with some better ones done with my light-tent and proper lighting.

Does is still make the click-clack of a normal keyboard. The entire reason besides needing it to use the computer for having it.

Amazing. I hope for all the work you went to that it's not too difficult to type on. :0

Very cool, man!!! I mean: wooooow! Yeah, very cool indeed!

That actually looks like it would work better than a regular keyboard, because small things would not get stuck inside the keys!

Oh wow, that's ultra ace. I'm not into the steam punk aesthetic, but despite this, the piece caught me eye.

does it work properly?

Atratus General Artist

Of course. What would be the point if it didn't work?

well there wouldn't be.
i was only wondering.

very cool!

Looks wonderful!

And how's typing on it? Fingers don't tend to slip a bit?
