Lego Keyboard mod

For all the Lego fans here, I found this article on modding a keyboard to Lego look.

I hope this has not been previously posted.

Look here:

Well, you certainly don't have to worry about wearing the texture off the keys.

You could always buy new lego pieces to replace!

And ripster would finally have a reason to use all his Legos!

Now you can have Red/Blue/Yellow/Green, even Lego Viking Head ESC key at your will

I can't believe Ripster hasn't adapted 4x4 legos to fit Cherry switches yet... maybe they already do fit?

The Cherry stem's diameter is too small.

You could wrap the stem in tape or find a small cap that would make the lego piece fit.  Could be a cool F-keys mod to make a "Lego Row" even if not your main typing keys.

C'mon Ripster, I know you have the resources...
