This Lego-friendly mechanical keyboard from MelGeek<\/a> lets you swap out more than just its keycaps and switches (via Gizmodo<\/em><\/a>). If you happen to have a bunch of Lego bricks sitting around, you can redesign the entire case thanks to the Lego studs planted across the sides and bottom of the board.<\/p>\n

The keyboard is, fittingly, called the Pixel, and while it\u2019s not officially licensed by Lego, you can build out just about any design \u2014 and maybe even incorporate an existing set \u2014 right on the case. It sports a tenkeyless design, making it a step down from full-sized boards, as it doesn\u2019t come with a number pad.<\/p>\n

You can frame your keyboard with a sweet Lego design.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: MelGeek<\/a><\/cite><\/p>\n

But the case isn\u2019t just the only thing that you can customize, either. MelGeek has cleverly included studs beneath each keycap, letting you outfit the board with your own Lego keycaps if you so desire.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that the switches themselves are hot-swappable, too, so you can rip out the existing ones and install ones with your preferred amount of clickiness. (It\u2019s not immediately clear which type of switches the board comes with, but we\u2019ll update this article if we find out.) Once you\u2019ve got the board equipped with your Lego keycaps and switches, you can plug it into your computer (or go wireless) and play around with its RGB lighting.<\/p>\n

The Pixel isn\u2019t on sale just yet, but you can lock in the keyboard at a cheaper $199 price (it\u2019ll cost $269 when it\u2019s available) if you pay a $1 reservation fee. I currently have all the parts and equipment I need to build a custom mechanical keyboard \u2014 complete with a soldering iron \u2014 but I\u2019ve put off this task for about two years now. If I don\u2019t end up getting around to it anytime soon (which, if I\u2019m being honest with myself, I probably won\u2019t), perhaps a Lego-compatible keyboard will satisfy my craving for a unique (and ever-changing) board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
