Looks like VT220 keyboard to me, although the terminal looks more like VT420, maybe with a filter on the front.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yeah it's probably a DEC LK/VTwhatever keyboard. Cherry G80-0535 and G80-130* models were basically just deluxe keyboard upgrades with the exact same layout.

Those fatty arrows on my French keyboard actually belong to a 1300.

Looks like an old Texas Instruments terminal board. Those things are beastly, and came with some of the best very early tactile (and linear) ALPS.

They're all DEC LK201 clones. The one in the video looks a lot like an actual LK201 including the blank function keys and legend strip.

I felt sure I saw an NMB clone of the DEC LK201 on some Chinese site, but I forgot to bookmark it or save the images.

I created a wiki category for these keyboards, but I've not found many since then:

http://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:Clones_of_the_DEC_LK201

Feel free to add wiki pages for additional clones and pop them in that category.

Lots of keyboards have those fat arrows, including the Monterey K101/K102 blue Alps keyboard.

Didn't you ever see "The Net" with Sandra Bullock? She orders a pizza online and plays some OG Doom while in chat rooms with her bros. :)
SSKs for everyone!
