cool that typewriters intentionally, actively conflate numbers and letters rather than seek to create unique glyphs for each symbol

typewriters were expensive enough to make that shaving off some pennies and inconveniencing the customer was a good way to sell more

would anyone be interested in a replica lisp machine keyboard if one should be made?

mechanical, of course, and either Matias or Cherry key switches, based on the production Symbolics layout

USB of course, and producing all of the proper key codes from all of the various meta, hyper, super, etc. keys

edit: she's also willing to do a deep dive into keyboard construction so if any of you have resources on how to build a pink mechanical keyboard from scratch lmk

anything from input club is probably gonna have CAD files you can make with stacked acrylic and a steel layer you could paint or something
