this is actually a very nice idea!

Nice. Of course, I'm going to have to mention these guys:

IBM's Beam Spring 3277:


And of course, the ever beautiful Space Cadet:

I'm kind of thrilled with this colour scheme:



It's like chocolate, blueberries and cream. (...with a bit of orange-yellow cheddar)

[bazh]

Hey mr_a500, what beauty is that thing you posted here ? Wow !

[mr_a500]

It's a DEC VT100 keyboard with unusual colours. I've never seen another one like it.

The most important thing here is - of course - the thumb shift layout. More thumb action!

[7bit]

I also like the dirge-scheme:

All glories to the East Asians who where the first to get rid of overly long space bars!

They are first in a number if things due to how slow our western-brains are in understanding anything.

I say more power to them .

you will make a GB, with the colors scheme....

Maybe,the Japanese/chinese people rarely use space bars!
the colors scheme is not important, what is important is
Symmetry

I kinda like this one. Can we maybe get a GB for it someday?



The caps I'm still most jealous of are (grr) Mr. A500's APL triple shots:

Black, white and red: with Greek legends! Well, some are Greek. I'd go for a Greek alphabet remake and forget the other APL specific symbols.

The earlier Data General Dasher terminals for their Nova minicomputers are the best:


I saw some other nice designs at The National Museum of Computing yesterday:

The varied keys for the white and orange ICL 2916 information processor terminal;

I like strange symbols. Why? Why not?





I really wish there was a way to make doubleshot one-piece buckling spring keycaps - in interesting vintage colours, possibly even spherical. It's disappointing to have keyboards that feel amazing, but look utterly boring.

[mr_a500]

I thought there already was a group buy for that. (...but maybe that was in the parallel universe I visited...)

That keyboard of yours inspired my planned Honeywell keypad swap with "Gerkonic" keycaps (assuming they fit):

(pathetic colour scheme layout done with Amiga PPaint)

I like the Kaypro II colour scheme too - black & light blue:

Not all beamsprings are alike. Here's the Great White:


Also doable with Round 5, of course. Albeit costly!

Daewoo "KOBO" gaming console. Keyboard "CPC-330K".
Apparently, the keyboard is the console. There is a plastic box that looks like a main unit, but it is really only a "monitor stand".

You've got thumbs: use them!

White beamspring keys are more like whale teeth:


This guy looks like he's saying, "please... no more beam springs... I've only got a few teeth left".

No to the Dasher blues? I'll agree they're not general purpose and need the plate colour too, but they would be my first choice. Bring on the group buy.

A red version of the space cadet does sound pretty good actually, maybe I will have to see about those Round 5 grey alphas.

The IBM 1130 is grey and blue like the 129 card punch keyboard above. There is a numpad which looks to be triple shot (grey keys, black alpha legends, white numpad legends). Hey, if you got the red APLs on too you'd get all four Honeywell colours. I wonder if there is such a thing as an APL card punch.

[nourathar]

totally for the dasher blues !
