Is that a Honeywell but in wood case? Custom shell?

Essentially yes but this one is further modified to work with a different computer or terminal.

As you can tell, I like long shadows, weird angles, and sharp lines, and need to get a better camera and be more decisive in my selection.

Wow, those two are amazing, especially the Cyrillic one. What switches are those?

The Philips has wiki/Philips_torsion_spring. Tbh despite all the competition, this is probably my favourite looking keyboard ever (big claim, I know)

The Cyrillic board is an Elektronika MS-7004, and has capacitive buckling springs. Definitely one of the most interesting boards I own, and has that fantastic space age side profile.

One of the sexiest vintage keyboard colorways ever. I feel the colors really look great with this homemade two-tone wood case. Definitely gives me some inspiration for a couple keyboard modules I have laying around. Overall this one is in pretty good condition but not as nice as this Honeywell

I would like to present my family. The NCD Space Invaders family.

I love these keyboards. Both the NCD N-108LK(dec layout) and the NCD N-97SYS(smallest one) are NOS. The box under the NCD N-108LK is the original box.

I don't think this one is overly sexy, but it's the best picture I've ever taken of a keyboard. It's mine ... for a few more days. Just cropped and a small rotate in Gimp, which is also about all I know how to do in Gimp.

Brightness and Contrast are under Colors. Those can make a world of difference.

The LED overlay and the function key mylar strip really ruin it for me. It's otherwise an extremely classy keyboard. If I was designing it, I'd remove the strips completely and use lock lights ... like an all black Focus 9000. I don't know if such a thing exists, but that would be really cool.

FWIW, the last black Focus 2002 sold for almost $340.

PERFECT colourway to frame history's most INSIDIOUSLY EVIL keyboard layout. Nicely done!

All that black is actually quite flattering for the case, as well. I'd be forever knocking my hands into the edges of it, thinking it was just an XT. :lol:

I'm a total freak, the layout really doesn't bother me in the slightest. The keys that I need are there, although I can totally see why this would drive people potty.

That layout was my first mech, I can dig it. Which is to say I can REMAP it with extreme PREJUDICE! It was my HHKB training wheels, in fact. Still got a fondness, in truth. So long as I'm not using it bareback. Anything but that! :P

The case was actually uncomfortable at first, it really felt in the way. Then it grew on me, it feels very comfortable now.
