The IBM 5576-B01 was a keyboard for IBM Japan's PS/V Aptiva line of computers. It used a 106-key JIS layout similar to the one used on the IBM 5576-A01 Keyboard. It used the Mitsumi KPQ Type hybrid switches with dedicated slider guide plate.

Design
Unlike other early 5576 keyboards, it used Mitsumi KPQ Type hybrid switches that rely on buckling rubber sleeve, with one-piece pad-printed abs keycaps. The coiled cable of this keyboard is not detachable. The keyboard is also significantly lighter than early 5576 keyboards due to having a thin metal sheet as backplate.
Variants
There are some known differences between different revisions of this keyboard, which are controller board, stabilizer wire mount, and color of the membrane traces.
