I love that he calls it "genuinely the worst keyboard I have ever used" but considers the project a success.

  Maybe his goal was to make a bad keyboard...

    Or excuse for wasting time

      Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.

  To be fair usually the goal of a do-it-yourself is to learn or achieve something you personally hadn’t before. I think they achieved a lot and I’m glad they maintained a positive outlook while also being honest with their audience.

  I think he's overselling it. I've used some truly heinous keyboards in my life and I'm sure this is better than at least some of them. I had a roll-up keyboard where every time you hit the key you had to hit it dead center or the top of the key would tilt away and cause your finger to smack the adjacent key. I had another keyboard that was just projected on a tabletop with a laser and would correctly read keypresses maybe 95% of the time. Just good enough to be infuriating without being useful. I've used chicklet keyboards on 80s computers. Membrane keyboards where there is only a bubble in the plastic sheet to press down on. There is no way this is the worst keyboard ever.
