I was surprised with this keyboard, usually these sorts of Stackpole/Hi-Tek are pretty scratchy for linears. However these, pretty smooth. I blame being stored in a good environment 8-)

I have no idea what an "Infrared Data Station" is. Definitely has nothing to do with the keyboard :P

Also has one of those annoying MDF cases, fortunately also in good condition. Included a bunch of function key overlays as well.

It's a pity that lots of nice looking older keyboards used these switches. Not only are they usually stiff and scratchy, but it's common for the slider to split, making keys jam. It's such a disappointment when I see a beautiful keyboard, then notice it's Stackpole.

stackpole or keytronic: often the case seems oversturdy compared to the switches !
