A Photo Tutorial on How to Make a Steampunk Keyboard

If you’re an avid reader of this site then you know what Steampunk is.  If not you still may have heard of it.  But for those of you here for the first time here’s a definition of this style of “art.”

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes fictional works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used, usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain. It has prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy; and it often features anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them.

Does all of this make sense?  The way I look at it is anything old school that Tesla would have messed with.  Personally I think that’s a much cooler way of putting it but whatever.

And anytime we see something that is steampunked it’s generally featured on this site.  Today we look at a keyboard…..

Pretty amazing that you can go from this…..

Here’s how it’s done. By the way, credit to Steampunk Workshop for the photos.  The full tutorial with text is here.
