It looks neat, but a keyboard that old would be a nightmare to use. It would be loud, half the keys would probably not work, plus any keyboards that are working would be collectors items. Which equals loads of money.
These guys are trying to get LISP keyboards built from scratch, another costly exercise. |

yes I know, but as I saw my first c++ program I didn't understand why for the logical "and" the symbol "&&" is used and not the "/\" like in logic. And now I see that a keyboard with real mathematical symbols exists, I mean, how cool is that?!
why aren't such keyboards produced anymore? I think there are many people who would buy one.. aren't functional languages used anymore?
I would like to have a new lisp-keyboard maybe with luminous keys... |

thanks for the links... the first one is better then nothing, but if it's only possible to engrave symbols without "lisp-function-keys"... it would be nice to have a total different keyboard from the consumer-keyboards with special drivers etc...
the second one looks a bit strange, but anyway >1000$ is way to much for me, maybe when I have a solid income one day I can afford something like that  |

| Perhaps for the time being you could look into Neo layout. It has greek and other symbols in certain modes. |
