From what I read I believe this is a terrible foil on foam keyboard. Don't hold me accountable on that though.

Considered to be one of the worst keyboards ever. In fact, it's considered to be the one of the reasons that the PCjr failed, so much so that even the most concise discussion of the PCjr will contain a mention of how **** the keyboard was.

What will it hurt to get it and play around with it? It's cheap.

Or you could spend your money on useful things. Mad, I know.

Also, the keys were Chiclet keys, not Foam/Foil.

Wow, nice cheap PCjr. I say get it assuming you wouldn't be trashing it after. The fact it was a flop makes it considerably more interesting than, for example, a 5160.

The PCjr replacement keyboard has a nice form factor. Still a rubber dome though:

The thought of an IBM joystick is wonderfully oxymoronic on so many levels...
