      great idea, could be used with many different materials to get different effects and then send them through the laser cutter

      Looks nice. I'd be interested in seeing some photos with the product reversed, ie, the keys are bare, but the rest is covered in wood, so the keys are flush with the wood. Would be nice to include the adhesive on that part as well in case people would rather use it that way.

      Engrain Keys are officially on Kickstarter! Pre-order a set, or support just for the fun of it! All is greatly appreciated! Here's the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1975231304/engrain-tactile-keys

      Yeah really cool idea. I have a hard time not thinking of it as broken pretzels though :P Maybe it's the color choice or I'm just hungry...

      I've read about a type of therapy where you walk on smooth stones. This keyboard would do the same for your fingers. I wanna touch it! -Thomas Lynn Pool, Brooklyn

      How did you learn about sandblasting wood to get that effect? I can see this technique being applied in many different applications.

      Yeah, would love to buy it, too! Please make a serial production of it - don´t mind when the letters disappear sooner or later. I prefer tha haptic experience! Just do it! Thanks!
