What’s wrong/unusual about this keyboard? There are a few more visible things, and one that surprised me when someone else pointed it out to me.pic.twitter.com/lXQMxkcXS0
Things I note that are substantially different from modern layouts: - tiny space bar (and white space around it) - 0 at the left end of the numerals - backspace to the left of the A key
But also: poor choice of finish for reading the key labels in overhead lighting (as you can see from the glare in the photo) What did you see?
Yep! Those are the three more visible ones I was thinking of. (And yeah, the glare is bad but pretty typical before the German ergonomic office standards of late 1970s and early 1980s kicked in.) But there is one more things that’s more subtle and rather unexpected!
Not wildly unusual for that time!
