Does anyone know the name of this keyboard?
I picked it up for 5$ recently.
It has a din5 connector and came with a din5 to ps/2 cable so i'm able to use it.
It works great but my question is - what model is this?
I searched it up on google and the best keyword was the Model M.

It kind of looks like a model m, but not quite. The keys are too plasticy, the lock lights are weird, and there's no logo. Then again, there were a lot of model m variations, so it's not impossible. Probably just from the same era though.
What are the keys like? Model Ms have actual springs in them and a very distinctive feel and sound that you can find on youtube.
I have seen a couple of videos of Model m's. The keyboard sounds a bit like a M but not quite.

BTC 51x9 series. Next time try googling it first.

Well, thanks.

You're welcome. For future reference, the Model M usually says IBM on it.

I know, a Model M was the first reasonable thing that came up after i searched the images up in google, other things were generic crap like "computer keyboard" which were not really helpful.

Why didn't you just try googling the numbers on the back of the board?

All you had to do was google the FCC ID. You know, the biggest thing on the label.
Oh well, i'll look into shit more next time. Cheers.

Lol I literally typed in the FCC id, which returned the company that made it, behavior tech computer corporation, and I hit it with a guess and typed in "BTC 10140 keyboard" and it was the first result. Total of about 20 seconds of work. OP is just a lazy nigger.

Just to be clear the model M didn't have that weirdass backslash placement and had a single-row enter.
