I confess I have already gone some distance down this road.

@kjhealy At least it's still Querty! Plus it looks Trés Cool

@kjhealy Was going to say, the keyboard mod community has gone some way down this route. Wonder if using frame.work components would allow for fun with device shapes.

@kjhealy Also now I am imagining one of the new giant curved monitors, but more Olivetti.

@kjhealy
Looks like I'm in need of a 'SUPER' key. And the font on that '1976' key is way cool - afraid to ask what it does though.

@nonesuch_user @NeadReport @kjhealy Both would be right at home in Emacs, which was designed for them. (Not to mention "Hyper" and "Front".)

@kjhealy built in Meta, Alt, and Super keys: build for Emacs! 😍

@kjhealy now I want to do an 808 inspired keyboard

@mo @kjhealy Just today I was imagining a TB-303 electric guitar, silver obvs, with the exact same sound and all the resonance, cut-off filter etc dials where the pickup tone and volume dials would be.

@kjhealy Yeah, this has basically evolved into modern mech keyboard culture.

@kjhealy I assembled one inspired by that Data General terminal. 😉

Keyboard with light and dark blue keys, similar in tones to the old Data General terminal keyboard.
