IBM-made 83-key keyboard for the IBM 5155 Portable Personal Computer, a 'luggable' version of the IBM PC/XT. The keyboard is likewise based on the IBM Personal Computer Keyboard but with an all-plastic cover set, an easily removable top cover piece, and smaller riser-style feet. The keyboard assembly's base plate is also aluminium instead of steel, making the keyboard lighter. It has a black, coiled cable terminating in a 6-pin modular plug and the cable can be tucked into an opening on the top cover piece for storage.
