Title: IBM Keyboard Identification? Value check?
Post by: samiryounan97 on Sat, 24 December 2016, 07:41:50

Can't upload pics right now and don't have any identifiers. Will do so later when I get the chance.

It's a mechanical IBM, white layout. Is about 130 keys? Many blanks. Contains a touch pad built in which was interesting. I didn't have a keycap puller but I tried removing the keys with my hands and they just didn't come out if that helps.  May have possibly been designed for a POS system in particular.

maybe post the FCC ID or at least Part No. written under the keyboard?

If it is IBM and has a touchpad, I very much doubt that it is mechanical.

Yeah IBM make a lot of POS keyboards with dome-with-sliders. A lot of people mistaken these domes for mechanicals cause they have a slider.

Probably one of the Model M9 POS keyboards. Not mechanical as others have pointed out.
