  • According to the project, the keyboard is 5.25 feet (1,600 millimeters) long.
  • At the same time, the company declares that this is not the longest variation it has worked on. The original prototype was 7.87 feet (2,400 mm) long.
  • A total of 17 boards are used in the chassis: 16 for installing switches and a control board.
