Nice.

That's a PET 2001 keyboard layout, though.

@Professor_Stevens I used several reference photos of VT100 keyboards. What looks wrong?

@Professor_Stevens Here's one example and all of the original layouts I find online are the same as this one. I did bump a few switches left or right so they fit but they're all where they were on the originals, relative to each other.

That's my only critique. It's quite an impressive accomplishment.

The PET was noteworthy for having the same checkerboard layout for its keys.

A Commodore PET 2001 personal computer. It has a tetrahedronal monitor enclosure atop a white angular case holding a cassette tape machine on the left and a rectilinear keyboard on the right.

@Professor_Stevens @trevorflowers That keyboard is as I remember from using the VT100. Trevor obviously had some constraints placed upon him in shrinking the design.
