I agree, saw that earlier while browsing reddit & it is a jaw dropper for sure. I bet he could make a killing if he were to make some more & sell them. Although I can see the novelty of having a one of a kind KB like that also.

It reminds me of those keyboards you'd use at ATMs or kiosks.

It sure is an interesting juxtaposition of function and aesthetics, a chiclet mechanical keyboard.

Wow, the person CNC'd his or her own keycaps that's crazy. The good kind of crazy

It's awesome alright but why did they have to use MX for such a unique board :c

they're not that bad. As a long time mbp user they are pretty easy to click. Your finger doesn't have to lift back up as much

Keys being "island" keys is no big deal. The keys being flat and the profile not contoured is detrimental to accuracy and ergonomics though IMHO.
I would also not have chosen Cherry MX Black... but each his own.

With all the planning involved, I want to say that he went with chiclet keys so that the custom keyboard would blend better in a casual environment. Maybe the decision was based on using the least about of aluminum as possible (he did give himself a lot of room for error)? Who knows

Very nicely done!

To make his own keycaps too shows real dedication.

Well look what I just found on Ebay... $390 for a truly unique keyboard

bruh, nike just released **** materials. like, im a huge dunk lo fan, trust. but i wouldn't give nike any money for the **** they put out. and they're making lows just really really ugly now. actually they haven't been hot since the black and purple boxes (and that's arguable)

I wonder if the keys go all the way flush with the case.
