This 122-key keyboard provides a seamless transition from "dumb terminal" green screen terminals such as the IBM InfoWindow 347X, 348X and compatibles from Decision Data, Idea, Memorex, Telex, and Visara.

When moving from the 122-key layout to a standard PC keyboard, there are over 30 new key combinations to be learned to perform the same tasks performed with a single keystroke on a
Twinax terminal. This lack of familiarity can produce a big loss in production and excess errors that would not be occurring if the user had their old, familiar keyboard.
With the PCKB122-5250P or PCKB122-5250U
5250-Style 122-key keyboards, there is virtually no retraining when moving users from the old
Twinax terminals to new Ethernet connected devices, whether it be a PC or Thin Client Terminal. The user will have the same layout and heavy duty keystroke feel as on
 the terminals being replaced. No need to learn the new key combinations a standard PC keyboard would require.
These "clicky" keyboards are
mechanical keyboards using an IBM designed key mechanism referred to as
"buckling spring" (illustration at right).
Advantages
This keyboard works perfectly in both the PC and Thin Client environments.
Any keys that have different functions are labeled with both functions. The
5250 keys are labeled in black, just like a Twinax terminal. Any PC functions that are different from the
5250 key function are labeled in blue.
The image at right is a portion of the 5250 keyboard and shows a number of the
5250 keys only the 122-key keyboards have such as F13 thru F24, New Line, Field
Exit, Enter, Rule, etc.
This keyboard also has keys such as Insert, SysReq, Erinp and
others
