It's a custom-built mechanical keyboard I assembled and programmed myself. You can buy parts to assemble your own mechanical keyboard in many places such as ebay/amazon, as well places like
1upkeyboards.com/
maxkeyboard.com/
and many other forums/websites.

The keyboard depicted is a %60 format(less keys than what you would normally find, which would likely be 100-120% formats). The keycaps are clear without any letters/markings and I added blue LED's to the clear Gateron switches. The PCB itself is highly customizable and has RGB underneath, capable of various LED modes and displays. I also added a couple of 'artesian' keycaps (the red lotus 'Esc' and 'Return' caps, and the flaked and g-prism).

Overall, this is my preferred aesthetic layout and I'm satisfied with it for the moment(this is my second board, by the way). My first board that I had assembled helped me hone skills I used to get my first full-IT job that ultimately allowed me to grow and explore other options later.

Projects like this are not only fun- but can potentially be very helpful in securing better work opportunities. Learning new things can be fun and also financially profitable.
