Nah, not useless. You can replace the microcontroller with something like a Pro Micro to use it with a modern computer. You're essentially taking the rows and columns lines from they keyboard PCB and remapping all the keys to what you want them to be. You'd obviously need to make a breakout connector though.
Do other terminals use this RS232 interface?

I don't plan on using it, I just have a thing for terminals. 😉

it sure is pretty.

I've only seen one prettier (I know it's subjective), the Bunker Ramo 2200 keyboard.
Hard decision.
