Pretty cool. Always wanted to try one of these chunky linear old-school boards.

Very cool. As usual, the lovely sound of the main keys is offset by the ugly sound of the spacebar, which sounds like a stapler in action every time it is hit. Seems to be a common issue with vintage keyboards of that era.
BTW, the "weird sub-legends" on the alphas are the ASCII control code symbols for Ctrl-A through Ctrl-Z. 7bit is replicating this concept in Round 7.

Someone make a case for the small one!
Then you could just do a hand wire, as they are contact based switches.

I've wanted to see someone try to type on one of those alphabetic Foxcon layouts since a few were up for sale earlier this year. It's just as insane as I imagined. Thanks for that at the end of the vid.

Nice review. I added some pictures of one if my latest computers that use the Maxi Switch magnetic reed switches here for reference to show something that uses them as well.
