And speaking of gaming – we’re all used to the thumb style of typing from the first photo that it was fun to discover the short moment where the gaming keyboards looked like the one in the second photo.

23. 24. 25. Halfway through! I need a bit of a break. Is this interesting? Should I keep going!? 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. And here is Canon Cat, maybe my favourite failed machine of all time. Look at these Leap keys! I’m somewhat in love with this machine. https://newsletter.shifthappens.site/archive/adult-onset-felinophilia/ That’s it! I hope you liked this sneak peek of my collection– if you did, consider backing the book since this is the level of quality I’ve been aiming at for the visual side… there are a lot more photos like these, and of course a lot more great stories attached to them. @mwichary gah. I really want this book but can't really justify it. Maybe there'll be an edition in future that I will treat myself to ❤️ @mwichary: Thanks for that thread. Gives me much more of an idea what to expect from your book. @mwichary this was awesome! Thank you! I can’t wait to get the book. @mwichary Your book is gorgeous, I backed your kickstarter within minutes of being notified, and I look forward to receiving it. But perhaps a photo gallery (e.g. Flickr or Google Photos) or a traditional blog may be better for publishing dozens of photos. Doing so on a microblogging platform saturates the feed. @amoroso What’s really nice in this scenario is the engagement – people can comment and share individual photos or talk to each other about a specific keyboard that resonated with them. With a blog post or Flickr or whatever you get a monolithic dead gallery. Thanks for backing! @mwichary Good point. Still, it may help to announce you're going to post a lot so that your followers are prepared. |

And a bit earlier, some game consoles tried to reinvent themselves as home computers with keyboard accessories. This is among the strangest of them: a “keyboard” to add BASIC to the Atari 2600.
