After seeing a similar construction at a friend’s place (hello Pieter!), I decided to build a key board. Ingredients: a couple of hard disks (broken or very old), a piece of wooden board some screws. In the image on the right, you see a couple of leftover magnets (there are one or two magnets per hard disk, so you can imagine how many hard disks I had). You see the magnets marked with ‘N’ for ‘North’ so I know which way to orient them.
I’ve screwed some magnets on the wooden board and placed caps over it (to protect the magnets and for aestetic reasons). The caps are actually parts of hard disks as well. Then I’ve put the key board on the wall and threw keys at it. I know it’s a bit cheesy, but technically, it is a board for keys :P You can see the result in the image below. I’ve noticed that not all keys are magnetic, but most key rings are, so most keys will still stick to the board.
