YASPKB! Yet Another Steampunk Keyboard
Jake von Slatt — Tue, 12/23/2008 - 16:22
Here's another Steampunk keyboard, and one of the closest copies of the original I've seen to date! I was alerted to it by the creator of this wonderful example - Peter Sztojanov jr. from the beautiful city of Budapest - who commented on my MySpace page.
There are quite a few more shots in his Flickrstream here!
Since the caption on the leading photo reads "Steampunk Alchemy's 1st keyboard" I am wondering if my good friend Rich Nagy a.k.a. Datamancer hasn't got some new competition from his ancestral homeland!

Here's a nice little keyboard and monitor set from Daniel Pon. I particularly like the small form factor, I have a Happy Hacker KB kicking around the shop that I might do something like thing too.

During a recent book signing in Seattle William Gibson was asked about the Steampunk modding craze. I think it was really cool that he was aware of us! In addition he commented: "My one complaint is, they make these things look all shiny and new...I think they should look...distressed."
Well, Kevin just sent me some pictures of his Steampunk Keyboard and I think he's managed just that!
I love it when someone takes a core idea from one of my projects and re-spins it in their own style like this keyboard. I think a lot of people will be excited by the fact that it was made without a great deal of metalwork as my original was.
And if you've no time to make something like this as a gift for that special someone you can bid on this particular keyboard right now on eBay!

There is nothing in the world that I like better then receiving pictures of things that people have been inspired to build by my projects. When I opened my mail and discovered these photos of Dave's monitor, keyboard, and Mini Mac wrap I squeed like teen on LJ!
In interviews I've often described Steampunk as the intersection of technology and romance - well here is the story to prove it!
Philatelic Keyboards - More Model M Goodness

Andy sent me a couple of shots of his beautiful stamp decorated keyboards. He write that he's made about 10 of these beauties.
Each of his keyboards are made with the stamps of a single nation and often commemorate a royal coronation or celebrate a particular sport. Andy's friends and family are most often the lucky recipients of these works of art.

An already venerable IBM Model M is retro-fitted with glass and nickel keys and mounted in a polished brass frame.
