FIELD NOTES

Diversity is the archive's period piece: a winkeyless TKL in chocolate-brown aluminium, wearing GMK Black Snail with a set of vintage terminal legends — CANCEL ORDERS, the green S-row macros, a lone orange PANIC. The switches are vintage Cherry Nixies, left dry rather than lubed so the board keeps its factory voice. Clear keycaps sit over the left macro column like inspection windows.
