I don't know much about these except that they are used in armored military vehicles. It would be interesting to pick one up just to pry it apart and see what's inside. If anybody does, post pics!

likely serial output, and unlike the other cortron keyboard on ebay right now, the keycaps don't look Sun, so there's a chance this is actually convertible to USB.

I have been eyeing this for a while, perhaps I'll bite, though I suspect it might be the buckling rubber sleeve, it'll make a nice addition to my RD-with-nkro collection.
