Scrabble keyboard via Giz. Datamancer writes -
This keyboard was commissioned by a couple of friends of mine from back east (NJ) who are avid Scrabble players. Most of the keys are made from real Scrabble tiles that were all hand-beveled (truly an exercise in patience/masochism!) and built onto a USB, clicky, mechanical-switch keyboard. This keyboard was going into a Mac environment so I decided to use brushed aluminum for the casing and round all of the corners to keep with the sleek, simple Macintosh styling. Near the end of the build, I decided that the keyboard looked a little too minimalist so I added some silver hardware and a seam to put a slightly industrialized twist on the design.










wow, this keyboard is super cool. datamancer is seriously a genius! Ive seen his work up close and personal and i have to say kudos to him for doing such an amazing job. cant wait to see what he has planned for the future!!
honestly, i may have to lie down after seeing this. it is so fantastic.
