If your computer keyboard looks a bit plain why not kick it up a notch? NeIdan built this Airship Captain MK-I – Steampunk Keyboard that was built around an every day keyboard and by spending a bit of time and a few extra pieces you get an amazing data entry device.
“Tools used:
scissors and x-acto knives also used heavy duty cutter for cutting the plastic keys
screwdrivers
Materials:
a keyboard
glue(any kind will do, i used r21 and wood glue)
nail polish or any kind of polish will do(wood polish)
brass buttons – i used two sizes for emphasizing some keys like the ctrl and shift etc..
vintage ish looking paper(looks a bit like a scroll paper)
guitar strap pins
fabric of your choice
friction lid support – which is basicly a window hardware, but you can also use other hardware parts or make something similar your own, which is what i would have done if i would redo this.”
