Well, except inner part. Have any of you tried this? It looks classy.

Looks like a standart scissor switch keyboard with a wood case and keycaps. But i have to agree, it looks classy.

Would think it would need a durable finish so the keys and case don't discolor from your hand oil.

I wonder what it sounds like

The Verge just posted about this:

Basically The Verge is blind to Apple Designs. They are convinced that 1 Infinte Loop can do no wrong.

Dont get me wrong, apple makes beautiful computers, they just make **** keyboards.

Love the caption: "This is not made out of unnatural materials like plastic or metal — it's a living thing," says Takata. "It's not static, it moves, it grows."

I can just imagine waking up one morning to find a few shoots growing out the side of the keyboard.

Gosh!

I like the wood theme. I wood(haha) love to see a TKL MX board that was all wood. I bet Beast wood(gotcha again) be all over that.

I'm working on a Gh60 case right now. I think I'll be doing a phantom as well, but I'm not sure yet

That sounds awesome. Make sure you give us lots of pics when you're done.

Too many splinters from when I was younger, I'd actually rather not.

I'm sure someone posted this but:

There's actually a lto of wooden non-mechanicals out there too

Durp. Make it out of micarta and hand oil will "improve" it.

Also- EWWWWWWWW it's made for Macs and you buy it with that croissant money (€).

Looks dull. They could have at least picked a better wood to do this with - ebony or snake wood would have been killer. Ten times more expensive yes, but killer.

Looks really good, but not sure about the chiclet design...

My keyboards grow mold in my basement, so I don't see why these wooden keyboards wouldn't grow either.
