There now exists ever growing number of keyboards available off-the-shelf which cater to specialist markets, with various layouts, high quality key switches and the ability to easily swap keycaps out for custom ones. These were bought at a radio amateur rally and in addition to having the loudest typing action of any keyboard I’ve ever experienced, they also feature a selection of cryptic symbols which would very likely mean something to a teleprinter operator.
Sadly, I don’t have the CRT unit that goes with this keyboard.Īnother favourite is one that I managed to pick up two “new old stock” examples of and are comprised of the PCB, switch and keycap assembly, that were replacements for a teleprinter. This keyboard features bright blue and grey keycaps, with a heavy switch action and that is packaged in a robust steel and aluminium enclosure. Some personal favouritesĪs alluded to earlier, I’m quite a fan of colourful keycaps and a favourite vintage keyboard in my own modest collection is from a Sanders 720 terminal that dates to the late 1960s.ĭetail from Sanders 720 Data Display System Product Description, May 1969. In addition to the forums and wiki there are also group buys organised by the community that provide the opportunity to buy into highly limited production runs of custom keycap sets, many of which inspired by classic designs, such as the Lisp machines space-cadet keyboard. The deskthority wiki also contains a ton of information on keyboard switches and keycaps, along with modification tips and guides on layouts, terminology and much, much more. Here you can find details of the many different variants of the venerable IBM Model M that is loved the world over by programmers and those who appreciate “clicky” keyboards, along with all manner of other keyboards of just about every possible configuration. Without a doubt the main resource for custom and collectible keyboards - and a gateway to a world of seriously obsessive collecting and custom builds - is the website and online community, deskthority. In this post we take a quick look at the custom and collectible keyboard scene, before moving on to the sourcing of parts and assembly of a custom “ortholinear” keyboard with Cherry MX switches. What could be more joyful than a keyboard featuring keys with a satisfying travel and characteristic sound as they bottom-out, topped off with solid, colourful keycaps of your own choosing.
