Can you believe how two people made a 16-foot-long keyboard from scratch? This build is on the way to securing a place in Guinness World Records with the title of "biggest keyboard".  

There's a video regarding the new invention in a YouTube channel named RKade and it takes you to a version of the labor-intensive process by which the hosts of the channel first build the keys that has been made out of the cardboard before being painted and also having lettering decals applied over them. They have also designed an excessive large layout, for the mounting purpose 3d printed a lots of custom component parts and also installed 'springs' in order to make the keys pop back up.   

This build is an equal parts technical ingenuity and a good old-fashioned one. There's a lot of drawbacks in the wood they have used to build the frame as it starts warping, resulting into a complete teardown and re-making the keyboard frame with particle board.  

The gigantic structure works with the help of a standard keyboard circuit board which is placed under the edifice with each key operating a lever switch that is tied with it. Once any of these keys is pressed, an 'a' pops up on the screen and it feels more like magic.  

RKade has used the build to play a typing game and the twist is that the host having the lowest score had to type out 'Never Gonna Give You Up' as punishment. It is great to see a rickroll used in a unique way for once. But it is really easier to type out the entire thing with the use of keyboard shortcuts.   

But the pair did not get the Guinness World Record though as it is not based on an existing keyboard.  But it is not important at all as this thing justifies its own existence after all.   

This is not the first and last attempt to build a giant keyboard. Razer brought a giant one to CES 2018 that was ten times bigger than the standard size but compared to this, it looks a bit small.  

Stiffer competition comes from Russian artist Anatoly Vyatkin's 'Keyboard Monument,' that was installed in the city of Yekaterinburg in the year 2005. This is the largest keyboard in the world at 50 feet wide and 13 feet high but unlike RKade's build this is a non-functional tribute.
