That is...really impressive. The dwarf kings of old would be proud. >

Working my 9-5 in the name of Aule >

Can I be your Yavanna? Erherm, I mean your Durin? >

Least horny r/mk user. >

I guess it is set in stone. >

That's one way to aggregate the description. >

This is a Drop x OLKB "50%" (actually 60 keys) ortholinear hotswap PCB with a steel switch plate from the same kit.
It's built with lubed Silent Aliaz "tactile" switches (I hate these switches but it's all I had) and Drop x LOTR MT3 profile Dwarvish keycaps that have Cirth language legends and english sublegends.
The PCB is tray-mounted using standoffs that I epoxies into recesses which I'd drilled. There's a channel for the USB cable which I incorporated into the mould.
The case was cast out of topping mix that I poured into an XPS foam mould of my own design. I carved the channels for the "mithril" veins using a dremel and then used a syringe to pour pearlescent-dyed two-part resin in them.
You can see the process unfold in Part 1 and Part 2 of my vlog about the keyboard! I am brand new to YouTube. Part 3 coming soon :) >

Love the "tactile" in quotes hahaha. Nice build. Where/how do you plan on storing it? >

They're the mushiest and quietest and most horrid tactile switches I've tried lol. I think it'll be somewhat sculptural/decorative or maybe a weekend board, home computer/novelty terminal/music station kind of thing. I have a split 65% for daily use. >

Hahaha.
I'd be happy to store it for you...
😂 >

When your custom case finally arrives but you notice that your offset was in cm instead of mm.
Just kidding, looks impressive! >

And they call it a mine, A MINE >

I can only imagine the looks you got when coming into the office with a literal brick. >

I can't wait to bring my new edc board to work. With a dolly. >

ROCK AND STONE BROTHER >

ROCK and STONE! >

Rock and Stone forever! >

One keyboard to rule them all, One keyboard to find them, One keyboard to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them >

Hand solder bind them* >

This is right up my street, great job. A keyboard fit for an Asgardian ⚡️ >

"Type Friend, and Enter" >

God dammit was going to comment this and was scrolling through to see if anyone else had yet but you beat me to it. >

This is so stupid... now where can I get some concrete. >

Oh heck yes. 
Rock and stone, brother! >

lol scrolled just to make sure someone commented this. Rock and stone! >

Did I hear a rock and stone!? >

Rock and Stone everyone! >

Good bot >

"Man I don't know why my bluetooth connection is so shitty, I'm sitting right in front of my PC" >

Hahaha! Good point... luckily no bluetooth on this board >

Sound test? I need to hear this! >

It's actually really quiet, the concrete is a good sound deadener so you can heart the switches and the bottom-out but none of the sound rebounds, resonates or anything. I'll try to get a sound test up when I put non-horrible switches in the board! >

That is awesome lol >

This is a concrete mechanical keyboard. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with veins of resin and it menaces with spikes of keycaps. >

The real stone keeb! Amazing work c: >

Thanks! >

Keyconcrete Q1 >

My brother in Aulë, this is amazing! >

This is the proper keyboard for playing a text-based RPG >

Can't wait to do this >

Thats a rock solid build >

Okay now I need to learn how to cast a Planck case out of concrete >

It's surprisingly easy! Checkout the videos I linked to in my other comment. I was just making this all up as  I went along >

Oh God, now I gotta find a way to make a mold for a Planck >

It would be very similar to the mould for the preonic ;) >

I wish I could make it lower profile but that requires so many fucking tries lmao >

holy fuck dude… that’s beautiful. How heavy is it? >

It's about 1.26 stone >

That's 17.64 pounds for the Americans too lazy to google it. >

7950g is actually the number I got on my scale ;) But grams didn't feel flavourful enough. >

Oh no, your repose was perfect lol >

It's so stupid. I love it. >

ikr :') >

This is the most hilarious keyboard I've seen, probably ever.
I love the high concept, definitely a piece of art. Hope your desk is dwarven made too in order to support that bad boy! >

Thanks so much! 
The desk is pretty sturdy... but only time will tell... >

Bezel could be thicker >

r/brutalism >

I'm living for this. >

This is the mechanical keyboard version of japanese bosozoku style cars with extremely flared fenders. Absolutely ridiculous but it's absolutely an extension of the kind of stuff I would find on the sub. Well done. >

This was kind of my thinking too! I love kaido shark noses, takeyari exhaust pipes etc. Take something cool and crank it way past 11. >

You could kill someone with that lmao >

Please step into my office, we need to have a meeting. >

That's ridiculous.  Take my upvote  :) >

Haha that is so incredible, I'm instantly hearing the monk chants in "Sadeness" just looking at it >

Damn... This thing could double as a tombstone down the road! Very cool OP, but how is it in actual use? >

Works great! I haven't done a full day yet though, to check the ergo. The typing angle is pretty steep >

Next, we need an entire desk. The desk is the keyboard!
Or is the keyboard the desk? >

a concrete desktop for my standing desk is a great idea, thanks! >

And my wife thought the Keychron Q5 I gave her was too heavy... >

When do we get to see the drop test on Chryosan's channel though? >

this is impressive but why? >

I'm with you on this... >

The keyboard used to type up the 10 commandments >

Most practical 50% board >

10 commandments type keyboard, W >

i finally found endgame fps shooter keyboard. >

Very cool. I can imagine doing a stained concrete case in a similar configuration. >

This hobby is getting harder and harder to explain to those outside of the loop. >

was getting major icelandic vibes from this keeb and scenery and then saw the runes on the keycaps - nice! you're doing really interesting things with keyboards, I really respect it >

Thank you very much! I love Iceland and a lot of my creative inspiration comes from there >

Nice. >

The keyboard from Chelyabinsk! >

You could use it for a digital guestbook near your place's entrance >

...you made a keyboard out of concrete? Why? Do you hate your wrists? Lol
It looks frickin awesome, but is it comfortable to use? >

It's really smooth topping mix, and I clear-coated it! So it's actually fine on the wrists. But it's really cold feeling all the time. >

So it's not a quirky grave stone? >

Now you've got me thinking >

I legit thought that's what it was, was looking in the comments for a story about how your friend passed away and or something and family asked for help making their headstone >

I can’t believe someone made a keyboard out of a literal slab of concrete... Wouldn’t it be a bit more useable if it was smaller? >

Yeah I wish it only had 30 keys, but I'm still troubleshooting my Gherkin >

ok very nice but..
how useable is this thing >

r/DiWHY >

Step 1. Reinforce your desk :) >

I gotta know how much that weighs man, looks sick! >

One and one quarter stone
Edit: Thank you! >

This is amazing! I tried to do a concrete pour once but I couldn't get the materials and ratios right so it failed horribly. Thank you so much for sharing your process as well! >

oh yeah it's annoying to mix. I'd try it with a "topping mix" and get it less-liquidy than you think. It'll flow nicely and be a lot gooier than you think, even if it looks kind of chunky or dry in your mixing bucket. >

Don’t leave us without a sound test >

at forst i thought this was a joke render.
then i swiped. >

You remember those maury episodes with the big lady and the really skinny dudes? Imagine the dude carrying that lady on their honeymoon. Now I imagine my desk is the dude and your keeb is the lady. >

Put a tiny black and white monitor on there and you have your very own 1989 Macintosh Portable.
(Which was notoriously not-at-all-portable) >

I like this idea >

You should play valheim on this >

Using this keyboard gives you +15 pickaxe skill and twice the amount of silver ore from veins. >

We’re the keys custom made? This is stupid cool. >

It looks like a headstone for a grave. >

THE THRONG IS MUSTARD. >

A new definition of “written in stone” >

It's magnificent in so many ways! >

Thanks!! >

You've heard of buckling springs.
Now get ready for buckling desks. >

hahahha hell yeah. great job! >

Thank you! >

I want this as my gravestone. >

Serious question. Would a vacuum chamber help the process of removing the bubbles from the concrete giving you a better finish? My inner child wants to make one of  these for shits and giggles but the adult me would love to use this and my office desk could possibly support it lmao >

It might yeah! I’m actually not sure but that sounds promising! >

Ergonomic >

What's the elvish word for "lube"? >

Drums…Drums in the dark >

Thock or thonk? >

Any chance for a sound test? >

I'll do one soon! >

John Sheridan will be right with you. >

r/diWHY >

Odin does not like arrow configuration! Curse be upon You! >

It’s bad for gaming but once you memorize which is which it’s no different for text navigation!! >

Imagine the shipping price >

It's like the keyboard that typed the tablet of 10 commandments >

Didn't know Moses to be a hobbyist. >

thought this was a tombstone at first >

Was this carved from the streets of Norwich? >

How does the concrete feel on your wrist? From the pictures it looks kinda rough. >

It's not bad actually, because I clear-coated it! But it's very cold feeling
