I just picked up a Sun 4 keyboard on eBay, since
they apparently use the
same keytronics arrangement internally. Long run, I'm going to track
down the necessary tools to do fabricate from scratch.
I wonder if it would be worthwhile making up some form of mass-production rig
for these.
Sounds like a fun introduction to mechanical design, assuming you could find
a punch of the right size, and fabricate the necessary parts. A DC gearmotor
would probably be enough to provide motion for cutting the discs of material,
followed by a pick-and-place type rig to assemble the cut discs into a
keyswitch pad...
Hmmmmm....
