Applications

AT-style keyboards with 5-pin DIN connectors were the standard input device for IBM PC AT and compatible desktop computers throughout the mid-1980s to early 1990s. They were used with a wide range of DOS-based machines from manufacturers such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy, and numerous clone builders. The 5-pin DIN connector was the dominant keyboard interface before the smaller PS/2 mini-DIN took over in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today these keyboards are sought by hobbyists maintaining vintage IBM-compatible systems, retrocomputing enthusiasts, and anyone operating legacy industrial or embedded PC hardware that still uses the AT keyboard interface. A PS/2 adapter (not included) can make this keyboard compatible with PS/2-era systems as well.
