Retro USB Typewriter Keyboard for PC

Retro USB Typewriter Keyboard for PC

Retro is still in which is a bit strange when you are talking about computer gear where we typically want the latest product out there. What does a geek with some time on his hands, and old typewriter and a clicky old IBM keyboard do with himself? He makes a custom modded brass USB keyboard that can be typed on all day by a touch typist naturally. This guy gave the custom keyboard the full monty with fancy brass work and all. The finished product looks great though I have to wonder how comfortable it is to use. It looks like those keys stick up a lot. It appears from the project page that this was quite an involved process. I’m not so sure I would want my keyboard to require polishing. It’s pain enough to me to clean the Cheetos out of my keyboard every now and then.
