When it comes to retro keyboards, I used one of these (or something very like it) to make fanzines with way back in the 70s. No personal computers back then (not until 1977 or later) and I'd remove the ribbon and bang out pages on a special wax stencil, which would then be used on a Gestetner Duplicator to print ink on a page. It required a certain degree of force to cut the stencil properly, and after typing out a whole fanzine would often leave me with sore finger tips.
