I apparently have THREE of these. No, I don't know why either.

This one is weird, because it's not really a keyboard. It's an add-on keyboard. The CXI KeyboardMate. I think it's mainly just programmable keys? but as an add-on, not built into a keyboard.pic.twitter.com/W6cOWCOEyR

Both the IBM PCjr keyboards, which are wireless (but IR, not radio) The chicklet-keyboard version:pic.twitter.com/Zjc0wtehFF

I'm always amused by keyboards like this, which do Weird Things. This one has a trackball instead of arrow keys, meaning it's not just a keyboard, it's a mouse. Amusingly it's from the pre-PS/2 era which means it has two cables, not just one.pic.twitter.com/qAji0F6RXI

The keyboard on the MDT-9100-386 police terminal. Everyone sees this and wants to type on it, it looks like it's so much fun. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's just an OK membrane keyboard.pic.twitter.com/rG3u08JK0J

The Intellikeys USB. This one is completely flat! Apparently the idea is that the entire surface is touch-sensitive, and you can easily swap in and out different layouts printed on flexible plastic.pic.twitter.com/NmsceDCZRh

I'm not entirely sure what this one is from and I accidentally took a very blurry picture. It's a very weird membrane keyboard with each key being protected: it has little hard plastic ridges around it that key you from accidentally pressing it., It's from TI.pic.twitter.com/Y0pWkRaG9X

Like the intellikeys, it's an adaptive keyboard. People with CP can find pressing just one key difficult, hence the separators between the keys

I believe this is incorrect on both counts. This is a fixed process control keyboard, and the keys are meant to help people with thick industrial gloves (which prevent precise positioning and diminish feedback).

The Intellikeys is definitely an assistive device: I work in assistive tech, and they're a product from Ablenet The TI keyboard might be for process control, but there are very similar kbds in use for assistive applications.
