Hello, back with my model renders. This time I made a detailed keyboard.

Right here is a model which took me 8 hours, Mostly because i had to recreated the keyboard’s shell 3 times.

Model is a mixture of Space65 and Sat75,

Glad that’s over:

I call the keyboard Unity, If that’s taken well too bad for me.

Everything is built straight from blender to the ground up.

I included making the other parts of the keyboard too such as the:

  • Plate
  • PCB
  • Stabilizer
  • Switches

They aren’t visible

Ofcourse I won’t show them since they are only there to fill up some of the blanks.And not really for showing,

Longest part to make was the shell due to the hard topology, But if any of you were to ask for some pics I would gladly show the parts of the keyboard.

  • Keycaps are inspired by GMK Mizu, I of course didn’t take it from the internet since I can’t find a clear picture of it since I am too lazy. So i had to make the 3D Font and use shrinkwrap to really get them onto the keycaps.

  • Most of the textures I got is from CC0textures and textures

  • I was thinking of using an HDRI Setup from HDRIHaven but went with a 3point lighting instead.

It is by no means perfect since it is the first keyboard I have ever modeled, And I did so in my free-time.

Feel free to leave some tips for me!

and don’t let this die in new ;-;

Edit: I made some adjustments to the post so it is easier to read!, I am also unable to reply to each post individually so I can only leave a heart for most replies out here!

I went along with “Control” rather than “Ctrl” because the ctrl keycap seems too long,
It’s kinda anti climactic lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

That’s a big USB C port. Maybe that’s just me.

If you sent a photo of this keyboard to someone, you’d easily convince them that it’s a real life photo. That is how real it looks to me. Great job.

Sorry about that!

I used my keyboard as reference instead of downloading a picture of a usb port because of my laziness.

I used the size of my keycaps as measurement for the USB C Port
