Are one of you folks responsible for the Steampunk keyboard?

[IronFist]

Is this the work of someone here? I just about had a geekgasm when I saw it.

Steampunk Keyboard

That's beautiful.
It would look really good in the Tardis...

 

[Vaderman]

That's a beautiful piece and quite inspiring.

I'm not sure if he's an RPF member, but you will run across him here:

I love that keyboard.

Why? It reminds me of something from Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" – I love the deco-post-futuro look.

 

[Walter]

Sweet... A pretty doable project too.

I may have to do something like this to an old keyboard, very cool and i have a few ideas to make it cooler, not a fan of the belt background, would be cool with a vented metal sheet or somethig.

Agreed, it would fit in there perfectly. Instead of a CMD or Apple key it could have a Seal of Rassilon key. :lol

This one would be a PAIN to use, to say the least. :lol

That is 16 different shapes of awesome.

If only they steampunk'd a natural keyboard..

Awesome. :eek

[Phayze]

must . . . . have . . . :love Shineeeeyyy...

I agree that the felt background isn't all that cool. Perforated brass or even a nice dark-stained wood would be cooler. oooh, mohagony and brass . . . . :drool

 

[blufive]

I'm not really a Steampunk fan but that is one cool keyboard.

:thumbsup

Very cool conversion. And it was fascinating to read the build diary and watch the videos of his technique.

I agree with Phayze, though: mahogany in place of the felt would be killer.
