There’s no way this can be a dream. I’m using a computer
The keyboard:

Sick. Is this an acutal language on the keys, or just lord of the rings jibberish?
- Spuddaccino ( @Spuddaccino@reddthat.com ) 33•1 year ago
Both.
Tolkien constructed an actual language for use in his works, and the gibberish you see on the keyboard is that language.

Other way around, actually: he started out making constructed languages for fun, realized that doing that properly required inventing the cultural and historical context in which it developed, and then, later, started writing fiction set in that world.

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.
It’s Tengwar (I think)

That’s actually really cool. Why is there a little screen on the top right??

I see that tiny latin alphabet for cheaters!

WHERE CAN I ORDER THIS???
- Sizousho ( @Sizousho@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year ago
It’s the Drop LotR keycap set. I think they have some 60% pre-fab. The one above is a custom.
… I may have built a keyboard for each language…

What bindings does it have though?
