Not a big fan of keyboard collectors since lots of them only have the keyboards without the matching computers which means somewhere there's a retro computer missing a keyboard because of that.

I guess it doesn't matter all that much with new or popular machines, but on old hardware with esoteric plugs and protocols that sucks.

I recently saw a video about using the Atari BASIC keypads.

The most unusual keyboard I heard of was the microwriter, a chordic keyboard.
