This is a generic 1970s IBM terminal keyboard, but the way this photo portrays it makes it so attractive. (Also, a really early example of filling out all the space around spacebar with keys.)pic.twitter.com/dsc1W5BHmG
A special blinged out edition of Royal Quiet De Luxe from 1949. “The gold-plated machine was produced in a limited edition and sold at a considerable price. Apparently, one of them was owned by author Ian Fleming.”pic.twitter.com/Pk4MIA1mw6
Yet Another Olivetti, this time a “wedge” from the last generation of typewriters – but also the most incredible typewriter carrying case I’ve ever seen.pic.twitter.com/YwOPQIn0Zv
I can’t decide whether this 1980 IBM Displaywriter word processing keyboard is very pretty or incredibly boring.pic.twitter.com/m4BTL7SIf6
Suggestion from @aslakr: A Tandberg Data keyboard from Norway, also from the year 1980 – but looking forward instead of back.
(It comes with a rainbow, too.)pic.twitter.com/31c4AHiIaa
The Japanese OASYS machines came with beautiful keyboards and enclosures. (Note how the keyboards are split visually to guide the respective hand – and also the extra two keys below the short spacebar(s), meant to be pressed with your thumbs.)pic.twitter.com/OEQppQkhBu
The keyboard of the early IBM 610 calculator from 1950s: Staggered keys, long space-like zero, and a 2" CRT that wasn’t good enough to display fonts so it only displayed dots instead.pic.twitter.com/D0rIS3aezz
A pair of today’s keyboards that recreate a 1970s key profile in a modern setting. Those key contours just feel gorgeous to me. (I saw the second one in person in Japan, and it floored me.)

Thanks!!! Kinda weird. 0_O Reminds me of Surface’s fingerprint recognition that also pretends it’s a key.pic.twitter.com/rpof3D2AVf
