Vintage Ultra Rare NEW HP / Compaq KS-2860 PS/2 Keyboard Black — French Canadian LayoutDescription:This is an exceptionally rare find: a brand new, never-used HP / Compaq KS-2860 PS/2 keyboard in its original factory packaging. The "Carbon" colorway refers to the deep black finish that distinguished HP's professional-grade peripheral line during the late 1990s and early 2000s era. This particular unit features the French Canadian (CF) layout with proper accent keys, bilingual legends, and the distinctive Canadian multilingual standard configuration.
The keyboard remains factory sealed — the original HP/Compaq box has never been opened, the anti-static bag intact, the coiled PS/2 cable still bound with its original twist tie. The keycaps show zero shine, zero wear, the tactile rubber dome switches preserved in their original crisp state. For collectors of vintage computing peripherals, this represents a true time-capsule piece: the exact typing experience HP engineers intended, untouched by decades of use.
The 122659-128 model was part of HP's Internet Keyboard series, featuring dedicated web navigation hotkeys (Home, Search, Favorites, Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Email) across the top row — a forward-thinking design for the dial-up and early broadband era. The full-size layout includes a proper numeric keypad, function row, and the robust construction that made HP business keyboards legendary for durability.

Collector Notes:Sealed vintage keyboards in OEM packaging are increasingly scarce as most units were opened and used in corporate environments. The French Canadian layout variant is particularly rare in North American collector circles. The "Internet Keyboard" designation represents a specific transitional era in computing history — the moment when the web moved from novelty to daily necessity, and hardware designers responded with dedicated navigation controls.
