I'm looking for keyboards prior to 1992 when IBM still made the keyboards instead of Lexmark.** A: Yes it is possible. These are IBM original keyboards. As old as 1987 - 1992 give us a call if you'd like. 516-693-1530 **Q: Does the keyboard come with the USB adapter?** A: I did not expect a USB and the keyboard did not come with one. I was very pleased with the keyboard. GD. **Q: Is there a specific, recommended PS/2 Connector that will work with a Haswell, rMBP?** A: a ps/2 (female) to usb (male) connector is what I used and it works fine on my older pc, (core 2 duo) (windows 7) which has both USB and USB 2 interfacesI don't know about USB 3 slots, but your computer probably has a combination of them, so it should work. I can't vouch for windows 8, if that's what you are running, since I haven't tried the keyboard on a windows 8 machine. It's a killer keyboard. **Q: What is the difference between an IBM PS/2 Model M and a Lexmark PS/2 Model M Keyboard?** A: The IBM keyboard that I have with a 1990 date has removable key caps (nice for cleaning or if you want to use a non-standard layout like Dvorak). My Lexmark keyboard from 1993 does not have the removable key caps. Also the IBM coiled keyboard cable has a round cross section and is removable. The Lexmark coiled keyboard cable is not removable and has a flat cross section. My IBM keyboard has a gray 'IBM' logo. My Lexmark keyboard has a blue 'IBM' logo. The typing action of both keyboards seems very similar. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/74049516-ibm-keyboard-model-m-1391401](https://www.desertcart.no/products/74049516-ibm-keyboard-model-m-1391401) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
