  It actually looks like one can construct a computer keyboard out of Lego and
                                  have it work
                                        
Last month I mentioned a Commodore-64 designed out of Lego [1]. Back then, it
was just a design, but now it actually exists [2]! There are two keyboards—
one where a real Commodore-64 keyboard has the keycaps swapped out for Lego
keycaps, and the second keyboard is a fully mechanical Lego design.

I think it would be possible to use the pure Lego keyboard on a real
computer, but it would probably require a custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
to handle the different mechanical action. Size wise, it's a perfect fit
though. And boy, does it have that sweet clicky sound of a mechanical
keyboard.
