But of course that G80-0081 has a really nice vintage flair.
Damn... that Tipro monster you have is so beautiful :shock:

The video editing console may not count. :lol:

That second one doesn't seem like it's functional as I ran into it earlier when looking for the world's largest.

I LOVE that stone keyboard. You European guys should check it out as its in Russia. Us US guys will only dream of visiting Mecca, lol.

Both of these are so lovely. 8-)

I think that 248 holds it for now, but it does look like individual boards as opposed to the solid 'tetris' board above it.

That smaller pitched connector looks almost like a scsi-2 connector!

World record - not only for size, but for number of cutouts in the case to fit all the key blocks. The most I've seen before are maybe 7 cutouts. Look at all those ridiculous separate blocks. Why didn't they make it easier on themselves and group more keys together?

At around 2:05 when you slid the keyboard to the left, it reminded me of the opening scene of Star Wars IV: the Star Destroyer that just kept going... and going... and going...

Thanks for taking the time to make and post that!

Edit: I just realized this was the second Star Wars reference in this thread! Go figure!

I didn't really make it. Just took it to the right guy and let him do the camerawork.

And there was one Battlestar Galactica reference, but a really obvious one :lol:

I really think that this one keyboard that may have worked as a prop in that movie. It somehow fits. :mrgreen:

Did you nick that idea from my F122 video? :p

I never saw your F122 video. I just watched it now.

I might nick your accent. The way you say "Jesus tap dancing Christ" sounds impressive.

The way he says anything sounds impressive. I hope he's able to do a review on the Kish Cobra. ;) That voice alone would make it awesome. 8-)

So Berthold seems to be a type-foundry, fitting that they received one of the first Cherry Keyboards. :lol:

I thought this was widely known (probably a "Berlin bias" :D ):
