The Smaky is a computer developed by Professor Jean-Daniel Nicoud at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland in 1974. Smaky is short for SMArt KeYboard.

An early portable Smaky existed, which resembled Osborne portable computers and contained a compact motherboard which fit within the keyboard.

For its time, the operating system was quite powerful, featuring a file manager comparable in efficiency to the Macintosh which followed some ten years later.

Development work on the Smaky ended in 1995.
