10 Reviews on old computing Keyboards

Picture from Timex Sinclair 2068 keyboard (1983)

The article I link here is called "The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of all Time", but I don't see it like that. Instead it's an interesting part of computing history, with good designs that were not very popular in parts, because they were not wildly distributed. Manufacturers from today could lend some old wisdom (but enhance ergonomics), mostly on the graphic design of keyboards. Nevertheless... nostalgia and cool pictures from old keyboards, that makes computing history so cute and interesting. Not to mention, that I am about to fall in love with the design of Sinclair.

Enforcer

"Yet, in 1992, Enforcer was published by a German magazine called 'Golden Disk 64' as a low budget game. In the opening titles of the game, the programmer and graphic artist was just named 'The Master', but the end game credits actually tell us that 'The Master' is Mr. Manfred Trenz himself."
