Rad Keyboard A.k.a. Why Didn't You Think of This?

Today I'm going to quickly show you how to make your boring computer keyboard super rad and punk ska mod beatnik retro fantastic.

Get Two Keyboards

All you need is two keyboards.

The only catch is, the keys have to be interchangeable, and the keys have to be different. If the keyboards are the same, when this is all over you will have seriously wasted your time.

Swap the Keys

Yes. I know. Quite obvious. Carefulness in removing the keys is vital. If you can't use your fingers, use two screwdrivers, one on each side. Pry with both at once. If you use only one you are likely to break the shaft or in my case crack a little chip out of the side of a key. Electrical tape on the screwdrivers ads safety padding as well.

Be sure you are not in a cluttered room! Keys will fly off and get lost. Repeatedly.

Type Things

Make sure they all still work. If your keyboards are the same color but different fonts that's fun too. Now you are rad.
