Typograph keyboards are adjusted for the language used in each country; with the most used letters in the middle. It always has 84 keys on it. The only detail that changed over the years, is that the Typograph switched from round buttons to square buttons. This page compares the differences between the keyboards.

As the original source was not always clear, some errors could have been made despite the effort in making a truthfull reconstruction.

German (latin)



The source did not mention a German Fraktur keyboard, but the type specimen prove that it existed. Because there is a R rotunda present, it can be assumed that the layout of the Fraktur version is the same. Notice that also the long s is still present on this keyboard.
