Crazy Keyboard concept model

This looks pretty cool and interesting.  It's still a concept design right now but I think it'd be sweet to own a final product.

Take a look closely.  The key caps themselves are actually shaped like letters they represent!



Group buy anyone? =P

I like it. The shape is abstract enough that it seems like it wouldn't be too bad to type on, but clear enough that you can mostly see the letters.

Sad that they felt the need to print the shifted characters on the number row. Do people really not know those? I guess if you aren't a programmer, you don't use them all that often, but looking at them, I use all of them quite frequently.

I really like the refined look of the keys. They don't look silly like you'd think when you hear of keys shaped like letters.

I would love this, but no low-profile scissor switches :-p

Preferably rich mahogany. To go with my many leather-bound books.
