Here’s some retro keyboards for your enjoyment:

My mom was complaining because the keys were too close together on her HP computer keyboard. She was a typesetter back in the 80’s. I think I’m gonna get her one of these. :)

I just recently bought one of these, and it is the most awesome keyboard to type on, ever. Long key travel; large, well, spaced keys; probably too loud for an office filled with keyboards, but the sound is also an aid to accurate typing, at least for old-schoolers like me. And it’s heavy enough to stun an ox with, should you suddenly be surprised by one in a threatening way.

The same model has a surprising following in the used market, with many decades-old versions still in daily use. The modern one is built to the same plan and standards, and has the advantage of a USB connection.

Highly recommended.
