Is this a vintage keyboard repurposed for the TV show? (From Silo, season 1) (lemmy.world)

After seeing the various Commodore keyboards in Alien: Romulus I'm wondering if these ones from Silo existed in the past too.

And how often do they get fixed when they do break?

I think the show decision is mostly for the aesthetic, but also I get it.

If they have the manufacturing to build crts they can have the manufacturing to build LCD screens.

Those computers need microprocessors. If you can make microprocessors you can make LEDs.
