| Includes 5-pin DIN to ps/2 adapter and ps/2 to USB converter. Keyboard is in used condition, but has been carefully cleaned and tested to work 100% | |
| condition | Do not confuse this with an IBM XT 83-key keyboard, which will not work with a traditional PC. This is an original IBM AT 84-key keyboard that will still work with any modern PC system (use AT to ps/2 adapter). |
| comments | Mechanical key switches are VERY clicky (more so than IBM model M)
Note: Price is for one single IBM model F PC/AT 84-key keyboard that has been restored and tested. The second model F keyboard (dirty) in some of the photos is for key location reference as we reassembled the first keyboard.. |
