Applications

Gateway keyboards of this era were standard peripheral equipment for IBM-compatible personal computers throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The PS/2 connection was the universal standard for keyboards on desktop systems before USB became prevalent. This keyboard is suitable for restoring legacy computers, DOS retro-computing systems, or replacement use on Windows 95/98-era machines. Gateway was a major PC manufacturer during this period, and their peripherals were built to OEM specifications for durability and compatibility across a wide range of IBM-compatible systems.
