Start here, and see the keyboard built into the desktop. http://ibm1130.org/
You could also hook up a display unit, which came with another keyboard. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/2250.html Note the function keypad to the left of the keyboard.

This 1972 Hazeltine was cool too: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/h2000.html I wonder if the keyboard separated from the display?

Yeah I've seen those pictures. I've never seen one here though. That IBM 2260 Display Station is awesome.

If you want to see modern-day pictures of that Hazeltine 2000, one sold on eBay in July.

Thats actually a pretty decent price for such a rare item. Looks a little like a microwave.

LOL! It probably put off enough heat to cook with...

That's funny, the 1130 was also in my thread about the Kiel Computer museum from a few days ago:

Let's see... $1.27M divided by 300... just over $4200 each in 1972 dollars. (That's a bit out of my price range..)
