 The Apple Standard Keyboard shares a lot of traits with the [[Apple Extended Keyboard]], which served as the full-size alternative during their years of production. Although both keyboards were introduced simultaneously, the Apple Standard Keyboard was advertised as the more affordable option at $129.((InfoWorld (Aug. 1989), retrieved from Google Books - [[https://books.google.ae/books?id=vDAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT60&dq=Apple+Extended+Keyboard&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false|Apple's Macintosh Lineup Summary]]))
-Known variants include:
-  * **M0116** - a variant with an ANSI-like layout and a convoluted bottom-row. All modifiers are labeled in English.
-  * **M0118** - a variant with an ISO-like layout and a simplified bottom-row. Most modifiers are labeled with an icon.
-Presently, the widely-adopted terminology for the Apple Standard Keyboard is often the "M0116".

 When paired with the thick all-plastic case, these keycaps contribute to a sound signature that is generally perceived as pleasant.

+==== Layouts & Locales ====
+The Apple Standard Keyboard was offered in multiple layouts & locales to accommodate for different markets and audiences.
+  * The physical layout is determined by the keyboard's **Model Number**. (i.e. M0116, M0118)
+  * Non-English sublegends are determined by the last letters printed on the **Serial Number** in barcode-style rear labels.
+  * Albeit not common, non-English sublegends could be spotted on the M0116 layout, but they have an extra letter to the **Model Number**. (i.e. M0116C)
+=== M0116 ===
+The most common layout used in the Apple Standard Keyboard takes heavy inspiration from the Standard ANSI keyboard layout, as observed by the full-size 2.25u Shift keys and shortened BAE key.
+Being the most common and readily-available layout, the term "M0116" in the keyboard community is often used as a blanket-term for all Apple Standard Keyboards.

+- Interestingly, some **Apple Extended Keyboards** with the French Canadian layout could be spotted with an **M0116C** Model Number.(([[https://web.archive.org/web/20240112125701/https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27344|AEKI with Model Number: M0116C..

+=== M0117/M0118 ===
+Most Non-English variants of the Apple Standard Keyboard featured an "M0118" Model Number, which is the ISO counterpart to the "M0116" Model Number. This physical layout features a shortened 1.25u Shift key on both sides, a shortened ISO-Enter key, and a simplified bottom-row.
+All official FCC IDs & Serial Numbers contain an "M0117", but the layout is collectively referred to as an "M0118" in the keyboard community due to the Model Number.
