This keyboard is from an Intel iPDS "Personal Development System" computer. You can see more information here.

The interesting part for me is that it has a marked Stackpole keyboard assembly as opposed to several Hi-tek keyboard assemblies that are not marked. The key switch "teeth" are also indicators of it's creator. It's an interesting PCB board too because it has an exposed metallic surface where the keyboard. This one have some very smooth yellow key switches (it was probably not used much).

Here are some pics:

I'm surprised (and disappointed) it's Stackpole. I tried to get an earlier Intel MDS, but the seller wouldn't accept any reasonable price. I assumed this one was Micro Switch:

First to see the Intel brand keyboard and stackpole made keyboard!!
The keyboard haven't any IC control inside, it could be link to a teensy or something DIY made keyboard controller to work on it.
Thanks your excellent sharing post^O^

An Intel Intellec is on my Want list. If the other seller had the computer that went with the keyboard, I can see why it would have been difficult to acquire.
