Cool Design Concept + IdeasRetro keyboard
Cool Design DIY June 11th, 2009
Steampunk keyboard by the Steampunk Workshop. Very awesome retro keyboard that was fully functional and of a sufficient quality that somehow gives it a sense of versatility that some of the latest mobile phone handsets also possess. In addition, it could be used everyday by a touch typist. This is an IBM Model M “Clicky” keyboard. They were made starting in the mid 1980’s and a version is still manufactured today. This particular keyboard was made in 1989 and shipped with and IBM PowerStation 530, a UNIX box the size of a kegerator.
Besides its overall quality and heft, one of the things that makes this keyboard particularly good for such a mod is the fact that it has removable key caps and the under-cap has a flat surface ideal for affixing a new key top.
Check out the cool video, you may be interested to get one customized by yourself.
