There are some very small fillets that ease the edge just enough for when I do touch the front edge, but honestly that's not too often. If anything, I may just need a wrist wrest, as I usually use lower boards.

While there are a lot of "happy accidents" in the design, being kind of flat-nosed was on purpose. The case's design is meant to evoke the final (and largely unloved) iterations of the 8-bit Atari computers, the XE line. My first real computer (though I had no storage device) was the XEGS.

I had an Atari XE growing up, and I loved that thing! Nice job on the keyboard, what a splendid project.
