Is this the most detailed keyboard in a game?
« on: Tue, 28 February 2017, 01:43:19 »
Was taking a look through screenshots of a new game called Stories Untold on the GOG store and noticed a rather detailed keyboard model used in the game with Dolch-like caps:



I think it's the most convincing I've seen in a game yet. What other cool boards have caught your attention in a game?

Looks like a Model F XT layout, doesn't it?

I like the keyboards in the original Deus Ex. They are split.
The same geometry and textures are used for both the left and the right side ...
However, it seems as if they were supposed to have been mirrored...

BTW, The computer has a CD drive in the monitor stand and the screen is octagonal ultra wide screen.

It looks like the spacebars are on the outside of the board to be pressed with the pinkies. Very interesting...

I should really get around to playing the OG Deus Ex.

F XT and its crazy layout. Very few people are enthusiastic enough about keyboards to use one, though.

Was looking through some texture files and noticed a 60%-ish keyboard from Metal Gear Solid V. Guessing it's either from Huey's Motherbase R&D lab of from the mission when you find him. First time I'd even noticed there was a compact board in the game.



Appears to use the bottom-right row as arrow keys.
