Apparently the guy who built it didn't have a clue as to what he was doing. So what startedout as a weekend project, took over 3 months to finish.

Here's the link to his Reddit page. Funny/good stuff here

What a brilliant piece of engineering.

Totally stunning. Thank you so much for finding and sharing.

that is really cool. Even if it took 3 months looks good.

I'm still sat here pondering how the heck he can make a switch or a button press do something like brighten or darken a page?!.

For someone with zero knowledge of making anything like this, he sure has some guts, and aptitude. I wouldn't know where to even begin on something like this.

Digital smoke in mirrors. On a laptop we can do that with a key combination. This is basically a keyboard (it hooks in via USB interfaces). It sends keystrokes to the PC.

Nice looking but I see it as a lightup arcade control panel. I've built one arcade from scratch and the other redid an existing unit. Didn't have a need for added lights except for the marque.
