There's a Maltron right-hand keyboard on Dollhouse, season 2, Episode 6.

Summer Glau's character Bennett has a damaged left hand, and the righty Maltron appears on her desk from about 16:18 to the commercial break while Tofer is using her desk. It's subtle, never fully onscreen. I'd never know what it was had I not been familiar with my lefty.

Ugh...Obama. If we'd gone a year back I would be happy to see the president.

Well, he hasn't invaded anywhere yet. That's a pretty good start!

A number of Model Ms are to be seen in the James Bond film Goldeneye, including a close in of one used to program the first satellite.

Some of Datamancer's steampunk creations were used in the TV series Warehouse 13.

I was watching a crappy film called 'Marshall Law' recently.

It revolved around a rich neighbourhood with fancy alarms which was going to be robbed and blown up or something (missed like 90% of film).

I did notice they kept trying to seize control of the alarms with what were clearly black Focus boards with the ridged cases

One of us did Warehouse 13? awesome. That keyboard inspired my own lamentably non-photographed M steampunk mod that I ended up selling right around the time I joined here last year.

10% unemployment? I don't call that better.

I figured out what it was, about 3 hours after you posted.

$36 M production cost and a Academy award for best Art Direction.

I'm still pretty sure it's a custom built board.


A custom chopped board. lol

They were going to use a Topre but somebody convinced them that DIP switches might look out of place in the year 2032.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D
