I'm building an 8-bit microcomputer myself using the popular AtMega328p (basically and Arduino board), as an excuse to learn electronics. Turns out I'm mostly learning AVR stuff, because the MCU will do most of the work; but I digress.
What I love about this project is the keyboard. I'm using the "follow the standards" approach implementing PS2 protocol with a Mini-DIN-6 connector to use an standard PS2 keyboard, but turns out rewiring an existing keyboard could be a good option too (although I guess it depends on the keyboard type).
"Replicability" is a nice thing to have in this kind of project, but not really essential. Well done!
