Well, I'm still on the quest for my modded Pi400. I'm currently on one
of the keyboards that seemed promising in terms of shell depth
(Logitech K120 with silicon membrane). The illusion, I realize, is in
the full-sized keys and their travel with the membrane below. I'm sort
of addicted to this thing, as it's plugged into my pi400.

I am typing this on an original IBM Model M. Since I have a disassembled
spare sitting next to me, I just checked: a normal Banana Pi Board (same
size as an old RPi) fits fine into the space under the keys at the back - so
if you de-solder the GPIO header and solder in an angled connector, this
might work ;-)

You would need to convert the keyboard to USB, eg. using
