Keyboard Directory
Notice 2024-03-01
The ASK Keyboard Directory is still a work in progress. Whilst it has been improved greatly over 2022 and 2023, there is still much work to be done over 2024. So please excuse missing descriptions and obvious missing keyboards.
The Keyboard Directory is an exhaustive illustrated list of IBM and family keyboards with basic information and common (usually Americas, EMEA and Japan) part numbers given and usually link on where to find out more. Originally envisioned as a Yellow Pages for keyboards (if you will), the Keyboard Directory intends to build a complete picture of the IBM and family keyboard timeline for people new to such keyboards to see and get a feel for or simply provide viewing pleasure. 249 distinct keyboards are listed in the directory.

The keyboard resembles the slightly earlier IBM 5291/5292 Display Station Keyboard with its large bezels (compared to the IBM Personal Computer Keyboard) but is larger still and only has one adjustable riser feet size. The layout is derived from that of the IBM 5251/5252 Typewriter Keyboard but makes minor tweaks to establish the true XT-style physical layout.
🔗IBM 5291/5292 Display Station Keyboard
eg, P/Ns 1397950, 4176191, 5642852, 5643009, 5643010, 5643011, 5643012, 5643014, 5643024, 7363290
IBM or Lexmark made 83-key typewriter-style keyboard for the IBM 5291 Display Station and IBM 5292 Color Display Station, both IBM 5250-compatible terminals. The keyboard resembles the IBM 5150/5160 Personal Computer Keyboard but with enlarged bezels and its characteristic three-setting riser-style feet. This earned it the community nickname "bigfoot" Model F. The keyboard also lacks its own controller and thus doesn't produce its own scancodes (the electronics inside only allow for capacitance sensing for the host terminal to control itself). The keyboard was available in two variants that were identical apart from the cable; a Type 1 keyboard for IBM 5291 Model 1s with an integrated connection via a 14-pin IDC-style connector and a Type 2 keyboard for 5291 Model 2s with an external connection via a DA-15 plug.
🔗IBM System 9001 Standard Keyboard

eg, P/N 4780898
IBM-made 83-key keyboard for the original IBM Instruments Computer System 9000 laboratory computer model (later known as the IBM System 9001 Bench-Top Computer). It's a variant of the IBM Personal Computer Keyboard that lacks any sort of adjustable feet and has its cable sprouting from the keyboard's lefthand side instead of its rear. It has a black, coiled cable terminating in a 5-pin DIN plug and 4 cork feet to prevent sliding. The "Standard" in the keyboard's name contrasts it with the later IBM System 9002 Hybrid Keyboard.

IBM-made 62-key typewriter-style keyboard for IBM 4704 Model 1, 2 and 3 Display Terminals, components of the IBM 4700 Finance Communication System. The keyboard is a particularly early example of a 60% keyboard and was designed to allow for full alphanumeric input capability but limited programmed-function capability compared to the 50-key IBM 4704-100 Function Keyboard. As such, the host terminals allowed a Model 100 keyboard and this Model 200 keyboard to be combined to provide both functionalities effectively. The keyboard on its own was intended for personal consultants and administrative personnel. The keyboard's cover is made of zinc and has a volume-adjustable buzzer on the bottom intended to provide an audible alarm to the user on certain system and application program conditions.
