    It looks like MDF, so quite heavy.

    Definitely not one to take to a LAN :D

    next i need to drill holes in the back of all the 100 keys so the screws could go in ok

    i used a piece of plastic glass to make a mold so i can drill the holes in the same places in all the 100 keys, and the keys could fit perfectly in the mold. i drilled all the 400 holes in the keys.

    this is the mold

    this is a key which i drilled 4 holes in

    will be a nice piece for the wall, but I just don't see it as being practical

    Ahahahah :D that's exactly what I thought when I saw it. Imagine playing CS and having to rely on both CS AND DDR skills at the same time :)
