OK,
Art and Taste are things that can't be discussed, it's always up to the individual being.
I would assume that this case would last for generations to come and could be a housing for pcbs, we don't even know about yet.
But for me there is a problem with the direction this keyboard is taking regarding potential buyers.
If i'm a mechanerd, than give me this keyboard with clean one colored options, black, silver, red .... and lower the price to 249$ for example.
If i would be a lover of art, and this keyboard should fit. Get rid of this "boring" keycaps. Put Metal caps on it, of course, these caps should have an equal style like the case. Put leds underneath in various colors to get a nice ambient glow, and if i plug in the usb, let the keyboard play Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
Doing so, you could raise the price tag to 999$ or more, "real" art is always expensive, doesn't have to fulfill any other purpose than pleasing the senses and imagination of the owner.

MakamiMetal caps are a goose chase. Anything other than brass will run insane costs and no one produces them except MKC and Hammer. They should just not have caps and sell the case alone -- anyone willing to spend that kind of money is probably customizing more than just the case. However, COMIC SANS? ART?

atdcCOMIC SANS? ART? Your understanding/taste of art? The measurement for all of us?
I don't like the branded spacebar with comic sans either. My metal caps would be "blank", but in an artstyle fitting to the case.
Most of the so called art i've seen, goes hand in hand with insane prices, not reflecting the material, effort, whatever, at all.
Have a nice day

MakamiYour grandchildren are less likely to pride themselves on typing with grandpas hipsterish aluminum keyboard than you are to go around town sporting your grandpa's aluminum horse buggy. Did either of your parents splurge for a top quality typewriter? If so it's probably rotting away in the attic right now, which is where your fancy keyboard will end up by the next generation, if nobody bothered to melt it down before then.
zoomorphI think you may be underestimating the keyboard community. I know a lot of people who would love to find, and subsequently display, a nice vintage typewriter, including myself.

zoomorphGood evening from my side of the world.
I guess you misunderstood my posting. But to give an appropiate answer, i've to say neither my kids nor my grandchildren are supposed to type on my mechas today or in the future.
Grandpa is already doing some research in getting a large enough coffin and graveyard. I might go to hell, maybe heaven. But even there i don't want to type on a rubberdome to send some spocky messages to the living.

zoomorphTBH, if my parents had bought a top quality typewriter I'd have been using that thing daily since I was old enough to read the letters.
I'm still not buying this, and I've paid utterly ludicrous amounts for collectable dolls in the past that would make any sane person's eyes pop out of their head.
