Although it hardly resembles it today, the first ever computer mouse did have a crude similarity to its namesake rodent. It definitely doesnt make sense considering its function, but that name has stuck, much to the chagrin of people who have a profound disdain for the critters. Of course, this association has led to a few comical illustrations and anecdotes when the computer mouse is given a literal interpretation, but all pale in comparison to these 3D printed keycaps that are both mouth-watering and cringe-worthy at the same time.Cleverly designed as a tongue-in-cheek joke to mouse-adjacent hobbies, this Mechanical Cheese Keyboard pays tribute to the delectable dairy in more ways than one. Perhaps a little risky for owners with little tykes that cant yet differentiate whats real and whats fake, this work of food art is sure to raise your popularity or infamy among your social circles. Just be sure not to serve this Charcuter-Keyboard in jest at your next party.Designer: RobertLobLaw2We all know that eating on our desks isnt just a bad habit, it can be disastrous for electronics as well. Just search the Web not only about the horrors of spilling drinks on laptops but also the pain of cleaning keyboards that have all sorts of crumbs stuck inside the keycaps and switches. As if defying conventional wisdom, this 3D printed keyboard design is pretty much literally all about food, one that your computer mouse would love to nibble on if it were actually alive.Designed to be used on mechanical keyboard switches, these 3D printed cheese-like keycaps add a little flavor to your typing experience. Figuratively only, thankfully. Like Swiss cheese, some keycaps have holes on them, but those arent decorative only. Youll notice that there are no printed letters, which could make you feel like typing blind as one of those mice from nursery rhymes. Instead, the keycaps are printed with an equally unique cheese font design, which while creative is a pain to read when youre in a rush.The set also includes accent keycaps in the form of cheese graters, wine bottles, and jam jars, all shrunken down to size, of course. Some keys like Shift and Enter have cheese knives on them, though fortunately not sharp at all. Theres also an accent in the shape of a mouse as if you needed yet another one on your desk.The Mechanical Cheese Keyboard is definitely a fun way to dress up your everyday tool, but its a novelty that could quickly lose its appeal over more practical concerns. The accents make it impossible to some keys comfortably, and the lack of letter markings might trip all but the most seasoned touch typist. Still, its definitely worth trying out if you have access to a 3D printer, and maybe it will set you off on a hunt for a 3D printed computer mouse as well.The post Literally cheesy keyboard combines the two things that a mouse loves first appeared on Yanko Design.
