Have you gotten tired of mechanical keyboards with all their physical feedback?
Have you considered... A completely flat keyboard?
Surprise! the plastic cover can be lifted up. The keyboard layout is on a piece of paper.
I think the middle two might be host connectors (AT and PS/2): you can hook a regular keyboard up through them.
The rightmost one is RS-232 serial, most likely
So it's by Logic Controls, apparently.
if you want the DOS version you gotta ask for it.
WELL that info isn't on their page anymore... but I'm gonna ask.
The other thing is that apparently you can program it without connecting the serial: serial is fully optional. So it must use some kind of out-of-band PS/2 messages to program it.
As much as I want them to provide the files, I will be 0% surprised if they just reply "bruh it's 2020"

Dunno if you still need, but this page has a 7zip which includes DOS [supposedly, I have looked in the zip, but obv can't verify its usefulness - it seems cobbled from sources by the folder names in the zip]https://t.co/okmAr6FPIn

I'll have to grab a more generic computer and try it there.
Like this one!
Have you ever wanted to type on alphabetical comic sans?
no? Fuck you, you're gonna.
Surprisingly little, for how incredibly heavy this keyboard is.
(the case is sheet metal!)
There's some missing parts: I think that's because this one has the serial port but doesn't actually support serial. That's an optional function, so those missing chips are probably serial-TTL chips
This is a RAMTRON FM24C16, a 2 kilobyte FRAM.
FRAM is ferroelectric RAM, it's non-volatile storage, but acts much like a RAM chip for simplicity.
2K is about how much storage is needed to store the keyboard layout.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
