The worst keyboard I ever typed on was attached to something called (I
think) an "Infoton" terminal.
Yeah, this:

It was upper case only (which is horrible enough)... but the keyboard.
It was like typing on a wet sponge. I wish I could find one so I
could (gasp) take a sledgehammer to it. The ASU remote sites had a
large number of these, and a small number of VT100s, and everyone was
desperately trying to avoid them.
