Scrolling through ebay this morning and found
this mysterious gem. Some googling revealed that this is a keyboard for IBM PC clones made in Taiwan. One person found MX Black switches in it but it was from a beige colored keyboard. Maybe someone here is willing to take a chance on it for <$100USD shipped?
It's a terminal board for various "Twin Data" terminals

I'd say this one is from the same factory as well (different labels but it's also made in Taiwan and has the same keycaps style):

If the layout was ANSI I'd give it a shot. But if it was buckling spring those caps would be to die for.

It's most likely not since many model m 122-keys keyboards have the empty square on the top left.

Found some more info on this board. Apparently a dome board from an old GH thread. I'm not 100% sure tho

I look forward to your report.
The more I look at it, the more I think "Keytronic II: the Return".

Actually the photo makes it look like the guy himself ordered it on ebay, was disappointed in what it turned out to be, and decided to chuck it off to someone else

I think there's a high possibility of rubber domes here lol. There's a white one on ebay that looks the same(well of course except the color). See pic.

It looks like the board in Cindy's pic has matching green sublegends to the Computer lab one. So my bet is on domes.

I've got one of those Computer Lab International host-attached terminal-emulator jobbies, they are indeed rubber domes.

I have a black one that's the same model, KPV6B05. It is indeed rubber dome. My beige TI AT has Taiwan Jet Axis.

Blimey!
I've seen some weird stuff in the "ergo"/split department, but that clearly tops it all.
