Just saw this.  Not really interested in it myself but someone else might be.

The thin adhesive-backed wood pieces adhere to the keys firmly and the characters and symbols are laser cut with beautiful precision.

They are precision cut beautiful wooden stickers.

Damn, those are nice. Would be cool on a Macbook but then it wouldn't close properly :\

I like these. My wireless Mac keyboard I use for my laptop and TV downstairs is just sad looking. I fear I don't have a steady enough hand to put them on properly.....

With a little trimming they can fit on normal caps too I suppose, just need a sharp knife and a pair of sharp eyes :D

Sorry, am I in the wrong place?  Thought this was a keyboard forum ... ;) :p

Anyway, I wonder if these wooden keycaps would soak up skin oil more?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

If they are real wood, natural oils should only make them look better.

I wonder if this will fit the Macbook Pro 13" retinas, not sure if that layout is standardized across the different sizes, it says it doesn't work for Air.

Probably too thin, the wood wouldn't allow the lid to close I presume.

Nice looking!!! I like the warm and fuzzy feeling of it. I guess I just like wooden works in general.

I think they'd go great on a keyboard with all flat-top relegendable keycaps.

They actually look pretty damn good. Someone who bought an SKIdata needs to try these on the relegendables. :)

They're thicker than other keys, but it's negligible (less than a millimetre thicker). Nowhere near Cherry thickness.

That's so weird...
On another note, I dunno if I'd like to stick these on my relegendable caps instead of the proper clear tops.
