After seeing a number of steampunk keyboards, I decided it was time to make my own. Based around a Dell slimline keyboard, my model incorperates 'ex-Royal' typewriter keys, which have been re-made to include all the standard characters on a modern keyboard. Accents are brass toned, and the area under the keys is matted with black felt. The keyboard is fully functional, and I am writting this on it right now.
