SA Selectresque | CANCELED 20 Oct 2025

SA Selectresque is an IBM Selectric-esque design, based on the famous bright blue IBM Selectric I "NASA" colorway. The Selectric series of typewriters was extremely popular; by 1978, it accounted for 94% of the business market. Selectrics used interchangeable rotating typeballs instead of bars for each key, so they weren't prone to jamming if two keys were struck simultaneously.

The Selectric's keyboard was also used for IBM terminals of the era, such as the 2741. Those eventually evolved into the beamspring keyboards of the 1970's, with which the Selectric's caps were compatible. Its layout was the direct ancestor of that used by the later Model M, which became the standard US layout still used today.

Legend has it the colorful blue caps were discontinued because they were considered too fun for office workers. But now they're back, in pog SA form!
