There'sa commercial product somewhat commonly available like this:
The Impecca Bamboo Designer keyboard

They however just make the base out of wood and keep the keys plastic so it doesn't get all ruined right away. It's in a more reasonable price real though ( $15 - $40 online ) .. I mean to get wood that cheap normally you have to go down town. For that kind of price though you should expect a few parts to be un-natural.. so the plastic shouldn't be a big deal.
Also, even the Impecca one doesn't sell very well so I can't see this thing moving any serious volume.

P.S. If your going to use cheese, make the mouse out of cheese and the keyboard as a big cracker like substance. The cracker will hold up to more abuse and it's perfect in a keyboard / mouse combo. You wouldn't need quite as much milk that way too. Ideally, you'd probably want to use cheese food instead of block cheese though as that could be form molded and you might be able to get a nice wax rind or wrapper (ala laughing cow) and get something like 3 days shelf life.
It would be a lot cheaper to glue Scrabble pieces to your current keyboard.
I have a wooden keyboard at work which cost me under half this much. I've had it for around 2 years and it still looks like new. It's made of lacquered bamboo (including all the keys). The keys are slipperier in the middle but rougher at the edges, but I highly doubt I'll ever get a splinter from it (lacquered bamboo doesn't splinter easily). As far as strength/longevity goes, I'd honestly say it's hardier than a regular keyboard... Not as good as my old Model M but this thing's definitely going to outlast a cheap plastic keyboard.
I also have a carved wooden mouse & a wooden calculator... I work for an Energy Efficiency company & sometimes have clients at my desk, so you can see why I got them. What I didn't expect is that almost every client comments on them & asks where I bought them, heh. For my business, they do their job pretty well!
I've never seen people get so upset over a keyboard that they aren't planning to purchase before.
Stop being so over-sensitive.
