I tried to look this keyboard up on google and didn't find much about it.  It looks like its a rubber dome board at this cost.  Anyone know much about it?  Are keycaps compatible with anything out there?  I might pick on up just to play with it.  For this price it might be fun.  I know some of the Cherry POS boards are excellent.  I'm not sure if IBM is know for good POS boards.

There's always people coming along asking about those IBM POS ones, and then the later black ones you'd find at bestbuy or similar places.

Most likely rubber dome.

You'd have no fun playing with it at all as it's 100% proprietary (unless you're a hardware person). It also has a lock at the top right corner. I don't think the key is included.

Better to spend the money on something else.
