It's a IBM Personal Typing System SSK (DisplayWrite variant). If that's the case, there appear to be two missing keycaps. The Delete keycap is standard but the arrow keycap had extra text. That will be very difficult to replace. Or you could use a standard arrow keycap or get a full set of standard keys from Unicomp.

If anybody here wins it, and does not like the stepped Alt and Control keys, I will be glad to trade standard or RGB ones for them.

I really want the horizontally centered number row. Do you know how uncommon it is to get differently layed-out keys for IBM?

[Sniping]

Pretty rare set of keycaps. This has the original keycaps on the 1392464, which was a rare keyboard itself, this keyboard was not replaced with typewriter keycaps or regular SSK caps.

Condition looks decent too.

Once again, an SSK goes for $200

but this time it's actually worth that much.

I noticed phosphorglow converted one to USB somewhat recently:

That's very well done!

Cheaper than an orihalcon cable?

You're right, I looked quickly and thought it was a Teensy.

It's similar to how it is done here:

That's neatly done.

Makes me wonder why someone hasn't made a kit where you can remove the plug from the PCB inside the keyboard, relocate the PCB and put a USB adaptor board in the same place, so a USB micro socket can be accessed from outside the case.

It was done back in 2011 for USB and bluetooth.
