I know it SEEMS expensive, but it's got ALL the letters.

4.0 out of 5 starsJolly Good Board for Keying!
By Amazon Customer on August 21, 2014
Absolutely Magnanimous! The keyboard itself, with it's gold lace, is a flawless match to my diamond encrusted computer case! I'm fortunate enough that the gem market is weak so I took it upon myself to lace the case with both diamonds and rubies! The CPU case and mouse both being gold plated and fully covered I found that many keyboards, even the best, were nothing but plastic! Folly I say! I blame the Chinese! But then some brilliant fellow (or fellows) decided it was most needed to craft the Sojourner Keyboard! By God the man deserves a medal! Or at the very least knighthood! Now I feel my workstation can fully be displayed alongside the crown jewels themselves! A Flawless combination of gold, rubies, diamonds, and a fare bit of tears of the poor (I wouldn't use simple tap-water for the liquid cooling now would I? And orphan tears as so easy to come by! They hardly even need to be caned now-a-days!).
By and by I feel this keyboard was a long time coming! And it types like a dream! I did denote a single star because it could use some emeralds though... or perhaps some flawless gems of another variety? Regardless, jolly good keyboard! Now If you don't mind I've paid a number of dwarfs and vagabonds to stand about outside dressed as chess pieces in the courtyard for a rip-roaring game with the Duke of Devonshire's son Lord Cavendish! Toodle-oo!

5.0 out of 5 stars$1000? Totally and utterly worth it.
By J on November 12, 2014
There are some people that would scoff at paying a $1000 for a keyboard. But to them I would ask, "Can you put a price on being totally and completely one with the universe?" The answer to that question is yes - and it costs $1000.
Just being in the same room with this object actually grants a type of spiritual clarity. I used to sometimes ask myself such questions as, "What is the meaning of life?" Then, after having The Soujourner Keyboard in my presence for only a few seconds, all of the answers came to me. When I finally touched this keyboard, I felt the spirit energy of the entire world flowing into my soul. I felt the stars align and transmit their celestial energy through every fiber of my being. I felt myself evolve.
You wouldn't imagine the things that I can do after owning this keyboard. I can create world peace. I can solve the energy crisis. I can solve world hunger. I can stop cancer. I can put ranch dressing all over my salad and not worry about my blood pressure, almost as if I was eating the low-fat-low-sodium ranch dressing, except I'm not eating that garbage - I'm eating the real deal. Real ranch. Real flavor.

4.0 out of 5 starsLike a sunbeam on a rainy day.
By Geekoid on July 15, 2015
You know, if someone came up to me 25 years ago and said 'In the future you will pay 100,000 pennies for a keyboard' I would have punched the person in the face and asked how he got into my bedroom; which would be foolish becasue clearly he would have used the door.
Now: Best purchase I have ever made. As you type you can practically feel the key move through dimensions to find the right letter. Not always the one you wanted to type, but always the right letter. In fact, I became so overwhelmed, I typed a series of books in an hour. Sadly, it turned out to just be copies of Harry Potter, with the only change being it was now about Harry Pooter. Which is odd becasue I want to write fanfic about Harry Canyon, you know, from The Heavy Metal Motion Picture.
I only gave it 4 stars, becasue whenever I create a linked list with a null error, random items disappear from my room and I miss my cat.

5.0 out of 5 starsAllows you to divide by zero
By Rais3dByWolv3s on April 19, 2015
Hey you know that whole thing about division by zero being "undefined?" Turns out it was just cause of crappy, substandard keyboards. You can do it on this thing no problem.

5.0 out of 5 starsa short rant. actual questions. i want to buy this.
By Optimal Prime on April 17, 2016
First off it is a shame the ash hats have forced the seller to turn off the ask a question feature because I have a few. Secondly this is part art, part elegant machine so as funny as some things are sometimes, it is actually nice to occasionally find factual information sometimes. This is no banana slicer people. move along. I for one have a $4800 computer I built yesterday. a $1000 keyboard that kicks as much tail as my new machine is not unreasonable. the flux capacitor / unicorn one was good though i will give you that.
1. is this wireless or wired?
2. if it is wired can you make one wireless?
3. Can you make a mouse to match? (obviously for more money)
4. is there any possible chance the finish could be of brushed nickle or stainless steel but this design, it is my favorite? even more industrial ;)
5. it says it will arrive like 6-8 weeks from now, I am sure each one is custom built. lets just say I took a road trip, could i come pick it up? do you offer tours of your operation? that could be cool, i bet you guys do some awesome stuff.
keep up the unique work. it will catch on.

4.0 out of 5 starsand after finally getting it how I liked, it broke almost immediately
By Amazon Customer on February 11, 2016
Finally, a mechanical keyboard I can use while wearing my office top hat and computer goggles. I was initially hesitant to make the purchase due to the higher price, but I can assure you when you take into account all the factors and perks.
If I had just bought this when I initially put it on my wish list, I would have saved so much in the long run. Since then I have gone through at least 8 or 9 mechanical keyboards at around $150. The first one I painted with bronze acrylic, and after finally getting it how I liked, it broke almost immediately. The second one I used spray paint to save time, and the exact same thing, except this one also cost me a 100 dollar watch i took apart to hotglue the pieces to make it work better, still, barely lasted a day. After 3 more keyboards broke after using indoor, outdoor, and indoor/outdoor paint in that order, same thing, despite the paint's promise to seal and protect.
I finally decided to stop skimping and invested in a 300 dollar mechanical keyboard. Not wanting to take any chances, and figured might as well spend the extra money to do it right, I just got it bronzed at the place that does baby shoes and whatnot. When I finally brought it back and plugged it into the computer, nothing. Plug didn't even fit. That's when this went from Wishlist to Buy it Now.
So, unless you want to waste over $3500 on worthless keyboards, not to mention the hospital bill from the smelter accident in my first attempt at bronzing myself. Just bite the bullet and pay the extra now, you'll be glad you did.
I took one star off because its may have broken my computer after I finally got the smokestack I installed to vent the steam, which took a lot more effort and coal than you would expect.
