First, the infamous ones

Computer with the worst keyboard: (tie) Sinclair
ZX-81/Timex Sinclair 1000 &
IBM PC Jr.
Debatable! The 'chiclet' keyboard on the Commodore PET was truly horrendous!
And now the famous ones
Computer with the best keyboard: (tie) Commodore 64(C), & TRS-80 Model 12.
Sorry, can't agree. Far as I'm concerned, NOTHING has yet beat the good
ole' 101-key IBM PS/2 'clicker' for its sheer durability and fantastic
tactile/audible feedback.
Computer with the best speech synthesizer: TI-99/4A.
Dunno 'bout that... how about the Digitalker as used on some S-100 systems?
