These aren't really "terminal" boards, are they? They're PS/2, for one thing, but maybe someone can confirm this.

These are apparently just like the solid KB-3923s Chicony made for IBM. Laser-engraved keys, if I'm not mistaken. Quite good RDs, if you're looking for a cheap score on a couple.

Sorry, guys, I forgot to include the link (https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-X-WYSE-770413-01L-KB-3923-Black-Desktop-Wired-PS-2-Standard-Terminal-Keyboard/171841539901).

I now realize that NIB examples of these appear relatively often (https://www.ebay.com/sch/Computers-Tablets-Networking/58058/i.html), so I'm sorry if I wasted anyone's time. They're very well made RDs, though, and it's fun having the Wyse name on them, etc. ... So, er, seen any good movies lately?  :?)

I used to find these BNIB basically every time I went to the recycling centre xD . If I'd have known people were interested in them I'd have taken some for them :) .

You could have kept them and then be like the 'keyboard tooth fairy' that went by everyone's desk at work and replaced their terrible boards with a better one...with the hope of course that it becomes the gateway keyboard into the mechanical world, hehe.

I have heard he's on the lookout for a good Wang, too.
