Datamancer.

More expensive than a Korean Kustom Keyboard.

  Quoting me causes a posting error that you need to ignore.

LinusTechTips did a pretty funny review of it on his channel. Apparently (as you would expect) it's absolutely terrible for typing.

Didn't massdrop have a drop for those caps at some point?

I think they've done a few drops of these caps, and I know for sure they did one of this board (or one similar, not too familiar with Datamancer's boards)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Omg, I had no idea you could buy something like this!  This would be perfect for my dad's study--he hunts and pecks anyways.

I love the model m version.  That one would be for me. :D

Has anyone done a review on these or bought one?

As I mentioned earlier, LinusTechTips did a video review on it a while ago.

I saw that, but I meant a member here.

Found a tutorial for this today. Not quite as fancy as a Datamancer but the price doesn't really compare either:



Not sure if it looks steampunk or ridiculous though, it does kinda seem cool.  :D

The second comment already informed OP of that.  Please don't go on a rager again.

Quite interesting.  Seems like a cheaper route for the look for sure!

Have you personally used one?  I've read a lot of speculation on how it would type, but only a few that have actually put their hands on it (and not just the keycaps).
