Cool Keyboard
Anybody know of a way to change a keyboard. I would like to make my keyboard look like the LEGO computer, but i don't think i could really build the case of legos, so any other ideas

You could take off all the plastic keys, and exchange them with legos...

Or you could mod it with a bunch of LED's inside, and make the whole thing light up....or just buy an Eluminix keyboard or something.

tried taking the thing apart and covering it with legos, but didn't really work out. I have ythought of jsut gluing legos to the tops of keys and the printing the letters on top, but my handwriting is horrible. Hadn't thought of painting it, could do the Lego symbol or sometin. Thanks

Are you a member of the Lego Club? Perhaps someone there has some ideas.

Hi Dannyboyfx. I saw a repeat of the TechTV Call For Help program for December 12, 2003, and I thought you might be interested in the "free file of the day".

It is called BlockCAD. It is a program that lets you build virtual Lego models, manipulate them and tweak them to get them just right before you build them.

Find it here:
