The Sun ones are a Type 6 keyboard - PC compatible if USB, not sure about the mini-DIN ones, but crappy rubber domes either way. Mouse is a Crossbow (could be USB, could not be), again, PC compatible but it's a 3 button USB ball mouse.

The first link is actually an entire dumb terminal. If I recall correctly 318x is a series of keyboard that'll convert to PC, so if someone could get it to sell separately, there's a project (but there are people who, for whatever reason, collect dumb terminals and the like so it's probably best to let them go as a pair).

The L40SXs are actually models of Personal System/2 and predate the ThinkPad name, AFAIK

olpc what keyboard tech is in this?

Whatever it is, it has to be cheap.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

It's also the laptop that RMS uses, along with this his white HHKB Pro.



All you need then for an authentic look is to sell your shower.
