Manufacturer description
Fully Tested This IBM KB-8926 keyboard rubber dome/membrane keyboard was designed for easy typing and great tactile feedback for typing. It features plug-and-play connectivity and is easy to convert to USB with an adapter (not included). This keyboard is lightly used and is in great condition. It has been fully tested and is ready to go. It is so much better and more durable than cheap keyboards made today. I bought an ergonomic keyboard after a wrist injury, so this one has been in climate-controlled storage for years. Time to let someone else enjoy it.
