Suggestion from @CatchTheBaby: Apple Adjustable Keyboard from 1993, Apple’s only (?) ergonomic keyboard.

Suggestion from @brx0: Data General Dasher terminals that basically scream “1970s.”

Franklin typewriter keyboard from late 1890s. Not sure how fun it is to type on, but it definitely looks amazing. http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/franklin.html …pic.twitter.com/5iDpo8o8Ow
I love how the Philips VG8010 keyboard showcases semigraphics. Might be among the most “graphic design-y” keyboards I’ve seen.pic.twitter.com/VhHpGDAeG6
Wow. #3 looks really good actually. #1 might be a pain (or not?) But #4... what were they thinking? #7 is too cute. #8 looks app-specific.
Which brings us to #2. Functionally even worse than #5. And visually... much more like a swastika than #5. Disturbing.
(And yes, I know there are old WWII era typewriters with swastika keys and SS logo keys.)
If you have a photo of a keyboard with a swastika or remember where you saw it, I’d love to take a look. (I saw SS keyboards.)
https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn13919 … Not a good photo. I ~think~ the upper right key has the swastika and ss together.
Similar models have a caret/backtick there. Other typewriters that just have the SS seem to have it above one of the numbers.
