summary	This website explores the history and current fascination with typewriters and mechanical keyboards, centered around the “Shift Wars” of the 1880s – a period of intense competition to improve upon the dominant QWERTY keyboard layout. The content encompasses a range of topics, including: the efforts of figures like Arthur Schawlow and August Dvorak to create superior typing systems, the role of espionage (Soviet agents monitoring American keystrokes), the rise of women in office work and typing, and the ongoing interest in recreating and innovating mechanical keyboards today. The website features interviews, articles, and reflections on designers like Rick Dickinson, photographic restoration, time capsules, and the conceptual world of computers and keyboards, ultimately highlighting a blend of historical context and contemporary enthusiasm for the art and technology of typing.
