chiclet keyboard
(foldoc) | chiclet keyboard
A keyboard with a small, flat rectangular
or lozenge-shaped rubber or plastic keys that look like pieces
of Chiclets chewing gum. Used especially to describe the
original IBM PCjr keyboard. Vendors unanimously liked these
because they were cheap, and a lot of early portable and
laptop computers were launched with them. Customers
rejected the idea with almost equal unanimity, and chiclets
are not often seen on anything larger than a digital watch any
more.
