While googling around some perfectly normal peripherals I ran into this monstrosity. Ridiculous, but I do keep coming back to look at it.

@paul 1) expensive 2) looks like it belongs at a NASA command center

@Amdev probably close to $1k if you get a proper set of Space Cadet keycaps for it.

@NotTheLBCGuy @paul wait EACH KEY is over £100 ?!?
Show threadNot The LBC GuyJan 13, 2025
@fabienmarry @paul what? I don’t know where you’re getting that from
Show threadFabienJan 13, 2025
@NotTheLBCGuy that page made it look like they sold each keycap and switch. I guess it’s selling the whole set.
Show threadNot The LBC GuyJan 13, 2025
@fabienmarry yeah, it’s £60 for the whole set of caps and £34+ for enough switches for the whole board. The caps are actually a lot cheaper than when I built my Hyper7.

@paul It’s a beautiful monstrosity.

@paul Finally a keyboard sized to look proportioned next to modern wide displays
Show threadJim BrownJan 13, 2025

@paul It exudes nostalgia. The size. The layout. The keycap captions! Nearly irresistible.

Give me custom keycaps or OLED keycaps for the non-core keys, and I think I would reflexively order it, at up to 5x the price.
