54-key integrated keyboard assembly with On/Off rocker switch for the IBM Electronic Typewriter models 65, 85 and 95, the second generation of IBM's first typewriters that were electronic rather than [electro]mechanical (ie, able to perform some amount of internal processing via electronics than rely on mechanical elements). Compared to their model 50/60/75 predecessors, the keyboard assembly is a lot thinner thanks to being based on Model F capacitive buckling spring technology and its keys can no longer lock themselves. Despite being Model F based, these keyboard assemblies unusually have melted plastic rivets like a Model M based keyboard assembly.
