Some lisp-machine guy likes sculpted spherical keycaps on white space invaders
« on: Sat, 01 November 2014, 04:35:10 »
Obra (a.k.a. Jesse, of keyboard.io) pointed me at this interesting document:
http://www.johnbear.net/symbolics-keyboard-paper/MacIvoryKeyboard.pdf

I have some criticisms of the analysis, but the keyboard he likes does seem pretty sweet in many ways.

A couple other photos:

Seems like some space-invader-switch versions of this keyboard used cylindrical keycaps and others used spherical keycaps. (I haven’t seen any other spherical space invader caps; has anyone else?)
