It really begs the question..if keyboards like this exist how hard can it be to actually make a real mechanical compact that wouldn't cost more than $100.

It does look like it belonged into a spacecraft from some mid-'90s space adventure game. If that's not silly I don't know what is.

Back to children's keyboards again, I'll nominate this Filco.
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

I think this deserves a mention, despite it's awesomeness.

Wow that's a great one! It even has alps switches!! I need to look for that one.. Maybe Majestouch can import it. roflol





Interesting that it has a smk part number, maybe DSI had something to do with it?
