What lower turtles were there? My impression was that teletypes were the first proper keyboard-based interfaces.

Mechanical typewriters have different physical mechanisms to feed forward a line or make the carriage return. I think it doesn't turtle much further back than that.
The telegraph was keybased - only one key so I can't call it a keyboard, but in other ways it is what you are asking about.
