The '''IBM 5576-003''' was a keyboard for IBM Japan's PS/55 line of computers. It used a 89-key JP ISO layout similar to the OADG106 JIS layout used on the [[IBM 5576-A01 Keyboard|IBM 5576-A01]] but the sub-legends are more similar to the [[IBM 5576-002 Keyboard|IBM 5576-002]]. It used the [[Brother buckling spring]] switches, and had a terminal emulator variant. The scancode it used was different from standard JIS keyboards.

==Design==
It used Brother buckling springs, with two-piece dye-sublimated keycaps (incompatible with the two-piece keycaps used on the Model M and Model F). The keyboard is attached to the PS/55 with a detachable PS/2 cable that uses an SDL connector different to the ones used on the Model M. The keyboard also features an integrated beep speaker and volume slider. It has two PS/2 ports which are used as downstream to connect a PS/2 mouse and the standalone numpad (P/N: [[IBM 5576-003 Numpad | 65X1138]]) that can be used together.

==Variants==
===3479-JA3===
This was an 89-key 3270 terminal emulation board. It was identical to the 5576-003 except for different key legends.
