I remap <RESET> <ENTER> <NEWLINE> <PA1-3> <DEL EOF>, etc.
Makes other people have problems when they try to use my
keyboard. :)

I think I went down the same mental path as you. Nevertheless, these do
claim to be clicky-keyboards similar to 3270s, and if done well, $149 is
reasonable. It would be really cool to have original cast iron 3278
keyboards rewired for PCs, but there would be a lot of hurdles to producing
them, andI can't guess what they'd cost.
The keyboard layout does seem to be the main selling point; but as it's
been 30 years since I used a 3278 keyboard, I think I've gotten used to the
PC layout. I do still remap right-CTRL to ENTER, so there's that.

Wait, I just googled "3270 keyboards USB" and found this:

But it says "3270-style keyboard", which I'll bet refers to the layout,
not the hardware.
Hm, or not. "By providing the same layout and heavy duty quality of
original IBM terminals, users will instantly be familiar with the layout of
their new thin client or PC device. In addition, they will also have the
same "clicky" touch and feel of the original IBM tactile feedback
keyboards." Ok, maybe.
