I don't have one to measure, but the 1991 Psion series 3 has 13.5
keys per row on a 165mm-wide keyboard.

Maltron's designs are a long way from simply being scaled Qwerty
keyboards, but they've been around since the late 1970s. They

A request for clarification here. Are you looking for keyboards designed
for small children, or for keyboards and devices with keyboards that
meet your size specs?

as i mentioned to wad the other day, the fujitsu Poqet PC may
also qualify as prior art. (a full IBM PC, and 100 hours on 2 AA

It was not specifically designed for children, but the
Atari Portfilio had a small keyboard, probably about 12 mm
spacing. It was designed in the UK by DIP and marketed by
Atari beginning in 1989. I bought mine in 1990. It was
200 mm x 100 mm x 28 mm, about the same size as a VHS
videocassette.
This is probably not what your looking for but have you taken into
account the ZX81 spectrum computer , tiny keyboard , see here ,

We are looking for examples of keyboards for small children
present before 1993.
Specifically, we are looking for keyboards whose key-key spacing
is between 10.8 and 16.4 mm horizontally, and 10.8 to 18.0 mm
vertically, and with a stroke distance of 0.9 to 6mm.
Thanks for your memories,
