Deskthority thread link: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=24031
I bought this keyboard a number of years ago with the intention of using it with my Polymorphic Poly-88; however, I found a George Risk keyboard sometime after that which came with a case and ended up using that. This one was purchased as-seen as surplus, not poached from a terminal. It's "basically ASCII" except the letter keys act like they're CTRL-shifted, the Deskthority thread above shows this is normal for this keyboard. I tested it on the bench and every key except U causes the strobe line to pulse. Not sure if this is a bad keyswitch, broken solder joint, etc, but these Hall effect key mechanisms are famously reliable.
Includes a NOS edge connector with solder lugs. Requires +5V and -12V to operate. Pinout available in the linked Deskthority thread. Staring at $1.
