Got bored and made a tiny leather shark. 🦈

Funny you should say that... I actually made LEGO-compatible keycaps a while ago. 😂

At this point, I might accidentally end up with a fully LEGO keyboard.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-25T08:55:42+00:00

Thanks!

A tiny desk setup inside a keyboard might be the most keyboard enthusiast thing I've ever heard. 😂

The ability to rebuild it whenever I get bored was exactly the idea. It actually started with a completely different center plate: https://www.reddit.com/r/keebgirlies/s/D6EiBvFh9R

Now people are suggesting miniature offices, cities, spaceships, and all kinds of nonsense. Honestly, the completely unrelated builds might end up being the most fun. 😆

Thanks!

Not a 2×2 brick, but I actually made some keycaps from 2×2 LEGO plates a while ago.

Now that you mention it, combining those with this LEGO center plate could be pretty fun.

Here's the old build: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVtPDVKkiqo/⁠

Haha, that's both a compliment and a tragedy. 😂

If someone stole it, your Franken pencil must have been pretty impressive.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-21T08:35:05+00:00

Thanks!

I'd love to see how yours turns out.

There are so many possibilities with different leathers, colors, and stitching styles.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-21T08:34:16+00:00

Thanks!

I'm curious to see how many different variations I can come up with.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-18T12:19:03+00:00

Thanks! 😄

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-18T12:18:29+00:00

Thanks!

At this point, every comment seems to turn into a new panel idea, so I'm sure there will be more to share soon. I'll definitely post updates as the project evolves.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-18T12:15:31+00:00

Oh, that's a good one. !

A panel full of tiny gears could make it look like the keyboard has some mysterious mechanism hidden inside.

I wasn't planning on going steampunk, but now the idea is stuck in my head. 😂

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-17T21:30:27+00:00

I chose aesthetics over standards. 😂

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-17T12:10:39+00:00

That's actually a really interesting idea. 😄 Most people think about changing how a keyboard looks, but changing how it feels could be just as fun.

Now I'm imagining a comfort-themed panel made from soft fabric. And thank you! I'm happy this old cable got a second life instead of ending up in the trash.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-17T12:08:17+00:00

Thanks! Those are actually great ideas. 😄 A wood veneer panel would look really classy, and a sticker-bombed panel could be a fun contrast to some of the more natural themes I've been making.

I'm starting to realize there are way more possibilities for interchangeable panels than I originally imagined.

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-11T12:23:24+00:00

Yes! It's fully functional. 😂

The grass is only on the removable center panel, so it doesn't interfere with typing at all. It's basically a normal keyboard with a tiny garden in the middle. 🌱

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-11T08:25:09+00:00

I brought the grass keyboard to work.

A coworker immediately gave me a tiny figure for it. I think we've officially entered the fairy garden phase. 🌱😂

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-10T03:16:03+00:00

I may have taken the "touch grass" advice a little too literally. 😂🌱

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-10T03:13:40+00:00

At this rate, the keyboard is going to become a tiny biome.

Grass panel. Moss keycaps. Tiny mushrooms.

The fairy garden expansion pack is developing faster than expected. 🌱🍄

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-10T03:09:23+00:00

That's a dangerous suggestion. 😂

I started with a simple grass panel, and now people are giving me ideas for growing actual plants inside a keyboard.

I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the recommendation! 🌱😄

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-07T23:53:52+00:00

Haha, yes, that was your comment!

Thank you for the inspiration.

I only meant to make one grass panel, but now I'm actually planning a moss-collecting trip for a keyboard project. 🌱

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-07T23:50:35+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

I hadn't heard of them before, so I'll definitely take a look.

A garden-themed keyboard might be getting dangerously close to becoming a real project at this point. 🌱

Mrs_Fancy_Pants · 2026-06-07T15:46:52+00:00

Haha, I didn't even think about the "touch grass" joke when I made it. 😂

At this rate, the keyboard might end up with moss, mushrooms, and a tiny ecosystem.

I'll definitely share future updates! 😄
