Even though official Nintendo updates are scarce, this does not stopAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfans like Reddit user tblampied from making their own content. In the forum thread they created, they posted a photo of theACNH-themed custom keyboard they had built for their girlfriend. According to the Redditor, they used a specific keyboard brand, keycaps, switches, and lubricant to build the peripheral. They also shared that the whole set-up took around 6-8 hours to build, given they had to manually take apart and lubricate pieces to give the keyboard a premium feel. Tblampied clarified that the keyboard is not that customized, given that they did not produce any of the pieces, and only put them together to create the whole look.
This is not the first time thatACNHfans have built themed items to suit their everyday needs. Some have even gone so far as to re-create items found inside the game, such as theAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsRaccoon Wall Clock.
