As some of you may know, I'm a fan of Brandon Sanderson's books, particularly his books in the cosmere universe. In the Stormlight archive, I recently finished The Way of Kings, which is the first book in that series. I've also read all of the Mistborn series to date, currently six books. I want to read the other books in the this universe that Brandon Sanderson has created.
In both the Mistborn series and the Stormlight archive, there are symbols. In Mistborn, we have their alphabet and in the Stormlight archive we have their glyphs used to represent their ten orders. Well, I have a 3D printer and I downloaded a blank keycap file from thingiverse.com. I changed it a bit and printed these...
Most of the allomantic symbols from Mistborn were already associated with letters of the alphabet, except one. They also didn't have a symbol for 'Q', so I used that symbol for it.
I've also been learning the Colemak keyboard layout, so I arranged them accordingly and got this keyboard! I indented all of the symbols except the ones for 'T' and 'N', which is where 'F' and 'J' normally are. I embossed those two instead. I'm a big fan of how it turned out. The Knights Radiant Glyphs nor the Cosmere symbol used for the escape key turned out perfectly due to the resolution required. I did use a smaller nozzle than normal to achieve what I did.
I would like to potentially add aons from Elantris, but the lines used in those would be too thin and the symbols too big too work.
I just thought I would share because it combined a few things I like, mostly 3D printing and the Cosmere. I've also spent a good amount of time recently looking at mechanical keyboards, which are pretty nice as well.
