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

Based on the key layout and shape of some of the keys, it definitely looks vintage.
Silo spoiler!
Considering the silos were built in the 2030s, I’m not sure why they would use a retro keyboard. Or any retro technology. I get that they’re going for an “antique” look, because the silos are 250 years old at this point, but they could have just aged modern technology. I mean, the frickin suit helmets have a flat screen in them, why would they be using CRT monitors??The tech levels within the silos are purposely kept low. They also forbid things like pulley systems and other stuff that could potentially give them an advantage.
Would've been nice if you would've stuck with show spoilers specifically btw...
