Would anyone here happen to know anything about the keyboard pictured in this article:
http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=113838&ctNode=2198&mp=9
As the article notes, it was used by the government in Taiwan, and a modified version was used by the Research Library Group for use in cataloging materials in Oriental languages. The keyboard was hooked up to a PDP-11/34 computer.
In addition to the RLG CJK terminal, there was also an OCLC CJK terminal which also may have had a different enlarged keyboard. I'd be interested in more information about either.
Incidentally, I have found U. S. Patent 4,327,421 which has a bit more information about this terminal.

If you look up a 1985 paper called “The Input and Output of Chinese and Japanese Characters,” it has more info about it.
Ping me if you have trouble locating it.
