I’ve been searching for this answer but nothing on the origin of gasket mounted keyboards.
The earliest post was in July, 2019 from Geekhack, which is just a question about what a gasket mounted keyboard is.
I’m guessing that it may have been started with Korean keyboards, since I think we were the first to popularize full-aluminum, custom keyboards (don’t quote me on that).
Any ideas on the history/origin of gasket mounted keyboards?

From what I know, o-ring gasket is the first introduction to gasket mount and it most likely started with the OTD 356 mini (edit: a little correction, o-ring gasket started with the 356N).

Steve Wozniak?
Although I believe this would technically be a tray mount/gasket hybrid since they’re only on the front. I’ll pull out one of my AEKIIs to check.
Edit: How did I comment such an old thread? Sorry about that.
