The keyboard features Alps SKCC (or GI SKCC?) switches.

According to Luc:

You'd connect it to the phone line and to a TV, dial up a server and use a videotex service.

Videotex by the way was one of the earliest implementations of an end-user information system. From the late 1970s to early 2010s, it was used to deliver information (usually pages of text) to a user in computer-like format, typically to be displayed on a television or a dumb terminal.
