IBM PCjr Keyboard
VZ.20240309.IPK_PERSONAL
Synopsis
The keyboard has always been one of those products I've wanted to work on. Initially, it seemed interesting from the outside, but I was surprised by the complexity once I delved into it. For this project, I've used a 75% keyboard 3D model provided by the one and only Tim Zarki. As I explored different types of keyboards, I stumbled across a video about IBM's personal computer, the PCjr (PC junior). Learning about this computer and its tragic failure due to its new but abrupt keyboard was fascinating. This discovery led me to decide on designing a keyboard aesthetic that aligned with IBM's PC jr.
It was an amazing challenge, given the level of detail and effort put into these visuals. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do.
