But then I managed to ask them if there is another place that could have those, and they pointed me to a little store on the 4th floor of a small building… and it was a gold mine of used Apple keyboards. So here it is, my holy grail Japanese A1048 in my own bag.pic.twitter.com/9FLW0J6XdQ

(I felt so happy I ran back to the original store just to say “thank you” to the guy that sent me to the right place.)

An interesting Sharp “email internet computer.” Seems vaguely resembling of an iMac, but it has some cool dedicated keys Apple would never put on their keyboards as Apple keyboards can’t ever not be boring.pic.twitter.com/8j71s3TKoa

Keyboard-related purchases count: 4 I got this fascinating one-handed cheap gaming keyboard. I’m a bit intimidated to get it out of the box. …and puzzled about the keys that stray away from QWERTY. Are those typical for one game, or common across many games?pic.twitter.com/crWmavjZCx

Interesting: Stickers to put on your keyboard keys to make them more grippy. Is this a gamer’s equivalent of racing driver’s or cyclist’s gloves? Useful or a placebo equivalent of the expensive HDMI cables?pic.twitter.com/3UtFI5l6Dc

This was an interesting iPad keyboard. Usually, keyboards treat every inch of space as precious. This one has non-functional bumpers on the sides; I guess so it doesn’t scratch the screen…?pic.twitter.com/cqqr1qBcSX

Keyboard-related purchases count: 5 A cheap keyboard with a platform for don’t-call-them-Lego Lego bricks? (They even cheat on the box already, by extending the platform with extra flat Legos.)pic.twitter.com/qOlqJAPJdg
