I asked an AI to make a beamspring keyboard, then made a 3D model of it

Yesterday I was playing around with MidJourney and I felt curious about what would the AI interpret as an IBM beamspring keybard. One of the images in particular (bottom left) was detailed enough to let you imagine how such a keyboard would look in real life, so I decided to assist our transistorized buddy with a bit of manmade CAD. This is the result:

MidJourney's IBM beamspring keyboards

CAD interpretation made by me

There are a few tweaks here and there, but the core idea is pretty much the same. Hope you guys like it.

Ok this is actually pretty cool. I feel like I have actually seen a board with a similar layout.

HG Interesting, if you happen to remember which one, I would be glad to know. Right away the distribution gives me some Alps SKCC and Microswitch SW feeling, while the color scheme goes more towards a Keytronic tall F&F keyboard. It would be really interesting to see which inputs were the most relevant for this to be produced.
I want to try other keyboard related keywords and see what happens.

This looks really interesting!
I'd love to see such a keyboard in person.
