I want something sun3-ish, but I'm afraid that, just like any proper serial terminal that has a proprietary detachable keyboard, these have become unobtainiumMaybe I could find an HP 700/96 in good condition (the one that takes a PS/2 keyboard)

@yakkoj
If you really want a Sun and can't find a matching Sun keyboard, you can make a PS/2 to Sun keyboard adapter. I'm pretty sure a design has been published. -

Of course, the sun3s use earlier type keyboards. There's bound to be a circuit floating around out there that'll give me PS/2 to ZS8530 if I can get a sun3 machine ;o)

@yakkoj @brouhaha Type 3 (Sun 3) and type 4/5 (SPARC) keyboards use the same protocol, only a different connector, so it's easy to solder an adapter.
Here are the pinouts of the DB 15 and Mini-DIN 8 connectors:
