Sick. Is this an acutal language on the keys, or just lord of the rings jibberish?
Both.
Tolkien constructed an actual language for use in his works, and the gibberish you see on the keyboard is that language.
Technically it’s an alphabet, not a language (excluding the keys with actual words on them and not just letters). The letters are called Tengwar and in the lore they’re Elvish letters, but you can use them to write in other languages like English. Even in universe they’re used for other languages like on the inscription of the One Ring, which is in Black Speech.
Have you found an official alphabet to use with the Latin alphabet for comparison?
OK thank you, I need to look deeper info that because not every letter is included.
I don’t know much about it but I think the vowels are included as diacritics over the consonants.
It’s Tengwar (I think)
That’s actually really cool. Why is there a little screen on the top right??
For the dog.
It’s definitely some kind of elvish
I see that tiny latin alphabet for cheaters!
WHERE CAN I ORDER THIS???
It’s accurate in that it matches the popular LOTR fonts, but you can’t just type normally and have the correct words appear without first running it through a program.
Edit: Fun fact: currently you need to use special fonts to type these. But in the near future, they will be probably be officially added to Unicode, in the U+16080 to U+160FF range. This is because Computer Scientists are all nerds.
Love this. What key cap set is this? Also what’s the keyboard? Looks like you’ve got a flip cover on the top right two switches
I’m unsure about the keyboard but the caps are from the Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Elvish Keycap Set
The keyboard is a Zoom75. I got mine recently and love it!
What bindings does it have though?
