Pneumatic keys
« on: Fri, 27 June 2014, 12:37:33 »
A member here reminded me of a Olivetti Lettera 36 electric typewriter. That was surely the most exciting keyboard I had ever used. Barely touching it and the key was registered. Also a very unique key-feel. Somebody said is may use pneumatic keys. Not sure if it is true. No longer have the typewriter. Only had immense fun with it for couple of times.

So essentially it's a keyboard that senses what key you are pressing and pulls it down for you? At the very least it would be good for people who hate bottoming out :))
