Keyboards have largely been replaced by holographic haptic interfaces these days, though some applications still retain them. Even so, these keyboards too mostly tend to be holographic.

An exception are applications that require sturdiness and resistance to electromagnetic and other hazards, such as a number of industrial machines and many military systems. These still retain analog keyboards as their primary input devices, though most are also compatible with the preferred modern haptic interfaces.

Price for these keyboards is difficult to assess, since they usually come integrated with the machines they are used on.
