You might not give a lot of thought to your keyboard even if the engineers who made it certainly did. But there are thousands of hobbyists who not only care deeply about their keyboards, but go so far as to build parts of them. In this case, out of concrete.

This build by Redditor ipee9932cd and posted to the subreddit devoted to mechanical keyboards pretty much speaks for itself. The entire case is made out of a single chunk of poured concrete, with a built-in wrist rest section that protrudes off the front. According to the mad genius behind it, it weighs about 12 pounds.

The process of making such a case really isn't too complicated. As explained in a short album of images, it mainly just requires a box to pour the concrete in, and a chunk of something that's the same size as the keyboard in order to make the right sized divot. Oh, and concrete.

If that looks like a lot of work, it's actually a lot less involved than other custom cases, which often involve stacked layers of laser-cut acrylic or even stainless steel that are painstakingly designed and expensive have made. A concrete case? Just make a mold and pour your own at home!

Just make sure your desk can support the weight.
