    You have left out galaxy brain giant IBM model M. (Not more keys, but thicc keys.)

    It’s not just the size. It’s also the way the sound of typing will bother everyone else in the room.

        “To use this feature, simply press the F213 key.”

        (unfolds paper keyboard map)

        (moves finger around for five minutes searching)

        Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)

          My account is too new to post an image, so here is a link instead:

            You can inline images like this:

            ![](https://i0.wp.com/blog.lingodeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/image6.png)
            

            becomes:

            The upper image shows a circular keyboard - that is a literal circle with a 20 key diameter - with Chinese characters on the keys. The lower image shows a single office cubicle with six of those circle keyboards around a monitor with the center keyboard having a trapezoid shape. I'd estimate there are more than 1000, closer to 2000 keys on all seven keyboards combined.

      Ahhhhh - that IBM Model 50 keyboard. Loud AF, and could drive a truck over it. Was my first and the feel of it was great.

      It’s not just the size, or the sound, but the fact you could comfortably concuss an elephant with it, or stop a bullet and go right back to typing. Those things were built like tanks.

      I need to get mine fixed. I sometimes tire of my steel series and wish to deafen all my online friends

      When my grampy died, my parents threw out about four Model Ms from his house. They didn’t know they’re not just old keyboards D:
