      oh yeah, I also tore down this vtech Little Apps Tablet to make it into a keyboard, but didn't finish. I need to put that up on my wiki.pic.twitter.com/Lm7PQYxcUR

      I forgot to take a picture, but here's one of my favorite key layouts from the 90s and I happily bought a replacement for it recently. It's a BTC model that has a split spacebar (the left half being backspace) and DUAL ARROW KEYSpic.twitter.com/CrgzuG0DDs

      And somewhere I have this neat TS Microtech keyboard. It's not a full keyboard, obviously, but the idea was that it would be programmed with all the shortcuts for a given program and you could easily use it instead of remembering CTRL-ALT-F2 or whateverpic.twitter.com/Tzxmqyc8TG

      I've also got this fun keyboard. Layout's pretty normal for a compact keyboard, but 1. some keys are relabelable 2. it has a magstripe reader!pic.twitter.com/qyfUYrliyZ

      I can't find my pictures (so I'm using one from ebay), but I've also got a BAT keyboard. This is a chorded keyboard where you press combinations of keys to create single letters.pic.twitter.com/J3TBHz7XyZ

      I'm not 100% sure I still have this one. The Pro-Tech industrial keyboard. Fully enclosed so it's waterproof and spill-proof, built in rugged trackball, and it's got a beeper in it so it can beep every time you press a key. Very broken, so I might have tossed it.pic.twitter.com/QOwXR9LJQP

      And somewhere I've got this mini-AT keyboard. It's strange because they've used different key types for the function keys and insert/home/pageup/page down/escpic.twitter.com/kDTZDJ8zwf

      I have a lot of keyboards. and I could easily have gone on for another 20 posts just with toy keyboards or another 30 with more boring keyboards
