This is the Minolta KY-1 keyboard that is part of the Minolta PCW-1 Word Processing System. It has capacitive foam and foil switches with rubber cupped switches. It is also known as the "Prototopre" type switch because of the tactility of the switches along with the unique PCB board design combination. It is suspected to be made by Brother but that has not been confirmed.
