The Vari-Typer! The classic keyboard that looks like a face. (The illusion is so strong that I feel bad for the last model, missing an eye.)pic.twitter.com/o24AVpi62T

This is by no way an endorsement of the phone itself, but Microsoft Kin Two keyboard (2010) was rather nice-looking. Plus, a smiley key!pic.twitter.com/qw94UeJbrs
Remington Starfire typewriter – both the name and the red put Olivetti Valentine to shame.pic.twitter.com/bUynBA4Lca
This seems a flawed keyboard, but I really liked the symmetry and the labels on keys rotated to face you. (This is Fountain FH101.)pic.twitter.com/SySBdumwuU
One of the most interesting-looking early typewriters, called Williams. (Also fun to see it in action: https://youtu.be/ulIYu9_0TiI?t=1m44s …)pic.twitter.com/kJgJ0NnXUs
Olivetti Elea 9003 computer console and keyboard, designed by Ettore Sottsass, 1959.pic.twitter.com/QBrzRpVuq2
STC Executel desktop “smart phone” keyboard from 1984. (I restored the colour palette from a reference photo. It seems few that survived had plastics that yellowed really badly.)pic.twitter.com/3c0eodP5pJ
IBM Upright Typewriter prototype, from 1981, designed by Richard Sapper. (…with what looks like a really early Model M keyboard!)pic.twitter.com/xovnCmduAG
This 1959 electric Royal HP with a cantilevered keyboard is so rare it’s impossible to find photos of it. But I confirmed it *does* exist. (The two keys on each side of the spacebar are down arrow and right arrow, effectively.)pic.twitter.com/byuoTlOZKv
