This thing looks pretty nice. If I collected esoterica I would be all over it. Includes cat cover!

How do they work indicator lights into keycaps on buckling springs?
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Yes, looks like Peerless. He removed the whole slider in the picture showing the switch. The plastic lid fits an IBM keyboard.

Time to cry again for the disappearance of the wikis.
