| The terminal came with three different standard keyboard layouts - an "AT" keyboard, an "ASCII" keyboard, and a "DEC Style VT-320" keyboard.

| All keyboards made for the Televideo 995-65 presumably shared the same construction, switches, and a Mini-DIN-6 plug normally found on PS/2 keyboards; however, all documented examples of these keyboards use code set 3, ((Purdea Andrei [purdeaandrei] (Nov. 2021) "Add support for the DEC layout Televideo Linear Space Invader keyboards to ibmpc_usb" [Github pull request for tmk_keyboard]. - [[https://web.archive.org/web/20231217180922/https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/pull/711|Archived via archive.org.]])) a protocol incompatible with basic PS/2 to USB converters. | All keyboards made for the Televideo 995-65 presumably shared the same construction, switches, and a Mini-DIN-6 plug normally found on PS/2 keyboards; however, all documented examples of these keyboards support non-standard versions of code sets 1, 2, and 3. The keyboard starts up in code set 1 by default, but using PS/2 protocol. Converter solutions such as TMK, and others based on TMK choose to use code set 3 because it shares most similarities with other code set 3 keyboards, and requires the least amount of custom code to support.
