Worst keyboard: DEC LK201 on VT220 terminals - no
<ESC> key, misplaced
angle bracket <> keys (both on same key), reduced size shift key so you
always missed it and hit something else. A TECO nightmare. Plus you
couldn't get a cup of coffee within 6 inches of it before it would crap out.
The feel is pretty bad too. Mind you it's a cheap membrane design inside,
so what do you expect. The VT100 keyboard was much nicer (the same
contact design was used on the oriignal TRS-80 Model 1, HP85/86/87 and at
least one HP terminal)
