Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

The descriptions for each type are now more detailed, a few more photos have been added, example systems the keyboards shipped with have been added.

I've also mapped the types to the possible generations they can be. Speaking of which, I've better explained the differences between this type system and the long-established generations - TLDR, types = feature set, generations = production quality/values – SharktasticA.
