That's exactly what it reminded me of, too! You should make one - but give it a bobblehead like the ones people put on the dashboard of their cars have.
It looks like someone has done it at some point! Though with a blocky head and in bronze colour for some reason. It turned up in image results and looks like it is from a deleted Etsy listing, so it's not available any more.
There's plenty of Christ the Redeemer 3D models available (eg. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3636051), which should be pretty easy to adapt to keycap for anyone who can do 3D modelling.
That would be awesome 😆
I don't see the problem. He's keeping the keyboard safe.
He's keeping the f8
you'll only be banging your head on the keyboard once with this badass on the job.

I've seen a few caps like this, maybe not more impractical. I think it is asking to rip the stem right out of the switch or tear the whole socket out, but hey, what do i know?
While I was looking for a Christ the Redeemer keycap (posted pic in another comment) I came across another statue keycap that is even pointier than the one in the original post:

The same company actually sells two other licensed 40k keycaps that would be quite impractical, just not as much as the statue. The two pointy helmets make the other helmets and the macrocannons look comfortable by comparison.
He chose... wisely
