I just picked up a Sun 4 keyboard on eBay, since they

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....
