Of course I'm going to focus in on the one thing I was involved with. The Nintendo PowerGlove should be compared with devices of its class from its own time rather than modern cherry key keyboards. Yes.. the membrane keyboard was bad when compared to a modern keyboard. But you know what else it was? Affordable. The whole power-glove cost only slightly more (in 2025 dollars) than the last keyboard I bought. And it hooks up to a NES and lets you point at stuff using your hand.

I love my keychron, but last I checked I could not use it to point at virtual squash balls on my TV.

Which is to say, if the only comment you can come up with about the PowerGlove is "This keypad... is so bad," then you seriously missed the point.

[ And while I'm here and b*ching about things... how does the Olivetti Praxis 48 use the same palette as the NeXT ADB Keyboard? ]

[ And I can't stop... Yes, the Canon Cat keyboard is awesome. But it's somewhat weird to use as you don't have arrow keys, just creep/leap forward/backwards. It takes a little getting used to and the keys themselves don't have the best feel. I've been thinking about replacing the key mechanisms with something modern. ]
