Concrete computer keyboard

That depends.

If the keyfeel in fact matches the case; and offers the sort of typing experience that '70s IBM dwarven artificers would have hewn from the living rock, beige plastic, and EBCDIC in order to command the big iron; then it solves the problem of the dire shortage of keyboards that fulfill this criterion.

Yes, considering this a ‘problem’ is probably several standard deviations more deviant than a variety of fetishes that people would consider blackmail material; but some of us do.

Now, if this allegedly ‘brutalist’ construction is, in fact, no more architecturally honest than the worst excesses of victorian ornamentation; and conceals a wretched, inferior, keyboard inside a shell of bravado; well, then it solves no problems at all and must be purged with fire and sword.

It all depends on the keyfeel.
