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.

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.)

A fascinating model of a 1950s ten-key SCM printing calculator showing how much there was to keyboard-driven machines before software came around.pic.twitter.com/G3rnaKv3pq
The keyboard for the Ferranti Sirius computer from 1961. With the thumbwheel in front to control the speed, colour-coded WAIT/STOP/CONTINUE, and absolutely giant connectors. And the whole computer has nixie tubes and a built-in clock.pic.twitter.com/o3Uwxahnox
(You can emulate the whole computer and play with that keyboard here: http://www.computerconservationsociety.org/software/sirius/base.htm …)pic.twitter.com/67VXRao5Qs
