This keyboard is not programmable!
It is possible to use it with either AT or PS/2.
It has no n-key rollover.
Although under the 4 removable blindcpas there are 4 key mounts and PCB traces, closing the contacts does not cause the controller to send any key codes. This might be due to controller programming (see also sister-model G80-2551).
