To Strip down a keyboard and replace the buttons with type writer keys?

Yes. But the actual typewriter modified to function as a keyboard is way cooler.

You'd have to find a way to compensate for the missing keys to put it into daily use, but as a proof of concept it's pretty impressive.

If you mean like control and function buttons then you could just scrap another typewriter's keys and with a very steady hand and some black and ivory nail polish make your own.

According to the website posted, there's more than just function keys missing. Due to the number of keys on the Smith-Corona model used there the creator had to omit the "1" key, backspace, and escape.
