Many of the projects that we find on the internet can turn out to be quite useful since they allow us to learn about a facet of technology that we were not aware of, but there are also others that may seem really strange to us for creating something that we may think is not very useful. . And if we talk about a keyboard made of cementit is clear that we could put it in the second category, since it is not something that crosses our mind if we know the properties that this mixture has, and how complicated it is to handle, although it is something that really ends up attracting attention .
Peripherals generally tend to have a fairly high price, something that makes us reconsider whether or not it is worth buying a model that will last us as long as possible even if that implies a really large investment. but this keyboard of cement It costs very little, since the materials to make the structure have a price of less than €5, although it would take a long time to create it, and it would take us approximately 100 hours, so this is where the decision of wanting to save costs would come into play. or time.
A unique keyboard that you can make… if you have everything you need
The keyboard is an essential part of a computer, in the end it is an input peripheral without which we would not be able to interact on many occasions, causing many people to try to find a way to make one that is completely different. And in this case it is not that it is very different from a normal keyboard in terms of how it works, but it does change completely if we talk about the aesthetics it has, since instead of using the basic materials of a keyboard that would pass for various plastics and metals, directly uses cement.
This model created by the owners of the YouTube channel Evan and Katelyn teaches us that aesthetics are not everything, and that even a model that has practically the entire structure (not counting the plate and switches) created with cement can be really practical . Although creating it can be a nerve-wracking experience for many people, as it is not only about finding the perfect combination, as the couple tries various combinations of cement and other different materials, but also about what is needed. to be able to manufacture it.
Obviously we need all the materials that are used, but in addition to this, a personalized mold is also necessary along with various devices that surely no one has at home to create both the mold and then the cement structure itself. Even so, it is a project to take into account even if we do not want to do it in its entirety, since we could do a test trying to create our own customizable keys, although there are surely much better materials to do it instead of using cement, mainly because it is not the most comfortable that we can find, neither when manufacturing the parts nor when using them.
