ever try tracking down old typewriters ? let alone the cost of them. they are getting harder to find and more expensive with all of the jewelry being made from the keys nowadays.
If you are going to attempt this mod and you are looking for a buckling spring keyboard you can buy a shiny new one on-line at:<a class="user" href="http://www.pckeyboard.com/">http://www.pckeyboard.com/</a>I have purchased two BS keyboards from them in the past and can attest to their legitimacy.
My hats off to the man....It seems like a LOT of hours was put into making that.....As I sit here typing on my piddly Tarantula keyboard....Good Job.....I'd like to see what he could do to a 42" LCD.
Sooooo. I did my own. Here's the link to the pics. I matched my monitor, mouse, and computer. Check it. click the "pimp your computer" SET Flickr.com/photos/photos_4_fun Peace!

Looks really cool~!!! Why none of the modern keyboard design can be as romantic (yet adequately useful) as this one?

I would have gone all the way and made the keys out of pressed brass.

When I first saw this headline, I thought "This is cool, but I'd never want one." but now that's I've seen it I'm totally envious.

Almost as good as the Optimus keyboard.

I can't believe it! I've heard about this month ago, but I can't remember where exactly.
