 ==== Construction ====
-Physically, the KB-101C has an identical chassis to the Acer KB-101A and 6011-series keyboards. The only way to tell these boards apart would be from the label, or pulling a keycap. It features the same removable cutout door for its fixed cable, as well as the cable gutters and four rubber feet.

It features the same removable cutout door for its fixed cable, as well as the cable gutters and four rubber feet.
-It is held together with three plastic clips at the top, as well as five screws around the perimeter of the board, and one shorter screw on the south side. The keyboard assembly is constructed similar to Topre, where small screws thread into discrete switches, holding the PCB to the plate. This assembly is held to the bottom housing of the keyboard via 2 screws and 2 clips. The back side of the PCB is shielded.

+Interestingly, the silkscreening on the PCB shows the Multitech branding covered in marker, and this was most definitely done in the factory by Acer themselves during their restructuring period. It is likely that the PCB was made before the rebrand, and the keyboards were finished after.
