Mod your keyboard

Well this tutorial will teach you how to mod your keyboard, DIY. It will turn your old keyboard to one nifty retro design keyboard. I love retro style. :)

Steampunk Keyboard Mod
My goal with this project was to build a retro keyboard that was fully functional and of a sufficient quality that it could be used everyday by a touch typist. In order to achieve this I chose a high quality (though widely available) keyboard as my starting point. This is an IBM Model M “Clicky” keyboard. They were made starting in the mid 1980’s and a version is still manufactured today. This particular keyboard was made in 1989 and shipped with and IBM PowerStation 530, a UNIX box the size of a kegerator.
