Cost optimised?
OK, that's *one* way of putting it.  8^D

Some time after I landed my Ultra 24, I came across a pair of Type 7 kbds.
which, based on
what I had seen with previous Sun kit, I purchased in a heartbeat.

They were used but in excellent shape and very clean so I did not question the
price I was
paying for them, which turned out to be far too much.

I did not expect to see this flimsiness and fragility in a modern Sun
keyboard.

The layout was the only thing it had going for it.
Unfortunately, the rest of the type 7 is a real POS.

Best,
