The '''Canon Cat''' was developed by Jef Raskin, of Apple Macintosh fame. While the Canon Cat is a more powerful word processor than most, its most exciting characteristic is the utilization of a new (for the time) user interface known as the Humane Interface.<ref name="humane" /> Because this word processing system didn't have a mouse, it used a unique Leap function which would allow you to leap forward or back (the two keys used below the space bar). This is the Canon Cat with keyboard consisting of [[SMK inverse cross mount]] keyswitches.

Below are some pics of the keyboard with [[SMK inverse cross mount]] keyswitches. The (Caps) Lock key has purple marker on the rim yet is not unique because it doesn't lock. It does, however, have an LED.
