Steampunk-inspired PC master modder Datamancer (aka Rich Nagy (http://gizmodo.com/tag/richnagy/)) is no stranger to Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/search/datamancer), and his latest work, a keyboard called Sojourner, is yet another example of his mastery within the genre.

Just like your wallet should you try and buy this thing.
