Out of 150,000 readers, only 54 make this blog possible. Will you be one of them?

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.
