Introducing SA SAIL
Based on
the SAIL ( Stanford AI Lab) keyboard
created by Les Earnest, inventor of the Finger protocol.
SAIL itself was started by John McCarthy, inventor of the
LISP programming language. The SAIL keyboard inspired the
Knight keyboard, which in turn inspired the LISP Machine
CADR and Space Cadet keyboards. The keyboard features
beautiful teal keycaps and a mix of APL and Greek top
legends, as opposed to the Space Cadet keyboard where the
Greek legends are on the front of the keys.
The SAIL keyboard also introduced the META and TOP
keys.
A couple of interesting quirks about the keyboard should
be noted:
–The digit 0 key is to the left of the 1 key.
–The
punctuation legends placement is quite different from modern
keyboards (more on that later).

FAQs
Are these 7bits or hhkbp2s legends?
No, I drew these myself. See below comparison:
More
NE NorDe (or Colevrak) avail? Due to
the wrong punctuation legend placement in relation to modern
keyboards and the fact that a new mold would need to be
created for each key if I wanted it to have the correct top
legend according to the inspiration, I have decided not to
provide a NorDe kit. More importantly, I dont even know what
that would look like, since it would definitely require some
rearranging of the punctuation legends in a way that would
go against how they are laid out in the alphas. Same thing
goes for Colevrak. Instead, Ive provided a basic ISO kit
with two options to cover the extra key: /*⊗ or \∞. The ∑s
in the Alphas kit should also help in this regard. Since
even the base ANSI layout has the wrong punctuation legend
placement, I think it is not as egregious in this case that
ISO layouts have the wrong legends as well.
