I'm preparing to market a new line alongside my jasper and agate pendants and sun catchers. It's called the Stone Age Keyboard, this one has polished beach rock being used, while other models will employ cut and tumbled jaspers (they're in the tumbler as we speak). I didn't want to post the photo here, because I'm not sure how large it comes out, but there are thumbnails on the blog page, with more to come. primordialink.wordpress.com/the-stone-age/To read about how these came into being, see the main site: www.primordialink.wordpress.com The only limits to using rocks is our imagination! (and yes, the keyboard really does work)

Lord yes! I do need keyboards, I'm hoping to collect working keyboards that people are sitting on, trying to keep them out of the landfills. If I can get donated working keyboards, I won't have to purchase new ones - again keeping older units out of the garbage (or under the bed, or in the garage ect) If anyone has a working computer keyboard - doesn't matter what it looks like - please PM me!

Use it or Lose it, I always say! I'll be making more than just the Stone Age keyboards, I've got the Ice Age, the Bronze Age, the Industrial Age and the Dark Age in mind - but I thought my fellow rock hounds could best appreciate the Stone Age !

Wow, you'd have to be a really good typist to be able to use a keyboard like that. Unfortunately I don't fit into that catagory.

Pretty neat! I'm a network analyst by trade and get rid of many many keyboards in any given year. I got rid of several boxes full (prob 50-70 keyboards lol) just a couple months ago. I'll have to see what I have at work to see how many I currently have available. I'll be in touch!

I'll take keyboard donations from anyone willing Just send me a PM if ya got some, and I can sent out some rough in trade. Believe it or not, you CAN type without seeing the keys! The trick is not to think about it

Now that Rockzilla is on the way to be the "IN" thing... I'm curious too.. are they lettered? cuz sometimes. I don't know where all my nifty little extras are at.. like ~ or : { { stuff like those are at unless I look.. But I think I'd use one.. if I was able to pick the rocks of my choice.. and as long as it really worked... do you use one? and what's it like.. ... Oh man.. those are just too Cool... ... and I think you're on to something there!

I'm a two fingered typer and don't always know where ALL the letters are. So, could ya use... Amazonite for the letter A Bronzite for the B Charoite has to be the C Dalmatian Jasper would make a nice D etc. etc. Thank you for addressing this concern I regret to add that the keyboards will now cost approx. $500 each ;D VERY cool idea!
