I got this keyboard from a friend but I don't know what condition it was in when they got it. It's certainly had A Life, but that's just how it is with keyboards.


Yes, I am aware I transposed the M and N. I have reassembled literally hundreds of keyboards in my life and never needed a reference; this is the first time I've swapped keys in at least a decade. I am shame.

I shot this on a new camera, so there's a few weird things going on! I think I accidentally enabled the image stabilizer on my lens, which produced a continuous whirring noise I had to EQ out, and is also, I think, responsible for the slow lateral drift in a bunch of shots?? I have no idea how that works, but it's all I can think of.

Also, because it has a much larger sensor, I'm still getting used to focusing correctly, so a lot of shots are soft.
