Looks like (but not exactely) Sinclair QL keys :)
These can be easily done in 3d printing

That keyboard does indeed look pretty far out ... it
must have been ...
"interesting" ... to type on :O
Best,

Hey there,
I'm currently working on a replica of Don Lancaster's prototype TV
Typewriter (pic here:

anyone know where the unit
that appeared on the cover (with the more refined keyboard) ended up?
I've
asked around, including Don and nobody seems to
know where it got to.
I'm also wondering if anyone knows a source that might have the keytops
that
unit used or something close (I understand they were made by Mechanical
Enterprises). I've enough parts here to build two or three TVTs and I
thought after I get the prototype replica done I might go for the cover
unit, esp. if it no longer exists anymore. But I understand those
keytops
were kind of a one off deal for that article.
Thanks!!
Brad
