Last week, we brought you news about a Klingon keyoard.  In a simliar vein comes a keyboard built entirely of Scrabble tiles.
The keyboard was built by Doc Datamancer after being commissioned by friends who are avid fans of the popular board game.
“Most of the keys are made from real Scrabble tiles that were all hand-beveled (truly an exercise in patience/masochism!) and built onto a USB, clicky, mechanical-switch keyboard,” he wrote. “This keyboard was going into a Mac environment so I decided to use brushed aluminum for the casing and round all of the corners to keep with the sleek, simple Macintosh styling. Near the end of the build, I decided that the keyboard looked a little too minimalist so I added some silver hardware and a seam to put a slightly industrialized twist on the design.”
The creator intended the keyboard to be one of a kind, but given the demand and interest for them, is considering creating more. However, he’s waiting to be sure that he isn’t infringing on the copyright held by Hasbro.
