The QWERTY Immortality Syndrome: How the World’s Most Mediocre Technology Outlasted 8 U.S. Presidents, 17 iPhones, and Your Will to Live

A creative representation of a QWERTY keyboard where each key features the face of a former US president, blending realism with a touch of surrealism. The keys should have a glossy finish, reflecting light in a way that highlights the intricate details of each presidential portrait.
