> Anyone using punchcards would be amazed by keyboards
As someone who uses punchcards regularly, I don't understand what you mean. People used a keyboard to punch cards since the 1930s or earlier. You type on a keyboard and the keypunch puts the holes in the card.
Which make and model of keypunch do people use these days? I thought that IBM had discontinued the Model 029 ages ago (along with all the other unit record equipment).
