The Qwerkywriter originally appeared on Kickstarter, where it handily surpassed its $90,000 goal to the tune of nearly $130,000. The eventual retail price will be $399 (about £244, AU$450), and the product will ship internationally. The keyboard is currently available for preorder for $309 (roughly £189, AU$349) with an expected ship date somewhere in the summer of 2015. Qwerkytoys has a hand-built proof-of-concept prototype and is in the engineering feasibility phase of the operation, turning the prototype into 3D files to refine the design and get quotes for parts.

If you can find an old PC/AT keyboard at a flea market or garage sale, grab it and try it out. IBM really did their homework on the design, making the keyboards able to stand up to daily 8+ hours of word processing department use and not to cause undue fatigue. I had one go bad after almost 30 years of use where the controller chip just died. They still get daily use and look pretty good. (with PS/2 to USB adapters) I found a vendor at the Dayton Hamvention back in then 1990s selling off a new old stock PC/AT and compact IBM keyboards and I bought a couple arm loads of them. I still use the classic buckled spring keyboards from IBM on my own PCs, rPis, etc. The matte surface of the IBM keys does eventually get polished by repeated use though, be it chemical or mechanical. I never saw the problem on IBM keyboards though, which ironically had easily replaceable outer keycap shells.

It appeared the typists’ fingernails had mechanically pushed the plastic over time into the weird contortions. Posted in chemistry hacks Tagged abs, ABS keycaps, ABS shine, acetone, acetone vapor, vapor polishing Post navigationīack in the old days when I did front line IT support, I saw a number of keyboards where the key caps had been sculpted into alien shaped Salvador Dali would love. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. Looks way better than the ultra-personalized shine of usage.

That particular set seems just right for this process, which makes them look like new old-stock typewriter keys or something. We wouldn’t have thought we’d react this way, but we think they’re pretty cool looking. It doesn’t take very long to achieve a good result, and says it’s better to err on the side of too-short instead of risking reaching the point of too-melted. So to that end, poured acetone in a glass cake pan, used a piece of cardboard to separate the keycaps from the acetone, and covered it all with a glass cutting board. Now, the operative word here is vapors, because straight acetone would acid-wash those ‘caps faster than you can say ‘bad idea jeans’. He recently experimented with using acetone vapors to refinish a set of keycaps from Drop, making them super-duper shiny in the process. And since there’s really nothing you can do except to replace your keycaps (or start with PBT), you might as well embrace the shine, right? And that’s the problem right there: the shine might be okay if it were somehow uniform across the surface of the keycaps, but instead it just tends to make one feel seen. No matter how often you wash your hands, ABS keycaps will eventually exhibit shine wherever you strike them the most.
