| ==== Description ==== | ==== Description ==== |
| Describe general aspects of the keyboard | The Datacomp DFK-700 was one of Datacomp's AT keyboard models and uses Futaba MA keycaps. It came in two versions: the DFK‑700F1,((Chyrosran22 Review of The DFK-700F1[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH1FQc5Z7Go]])) which does not have an AT/XT switch, and the DFK‑700F2,((Click and Thock's DFK-700F2 sound test[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmUpn7Z6xwo]])) which does.\\ The DFK-700F2 was rebranded and used with Tatung's TCS-5000 personal computer. ((Worthpoint archiving of TCS-5000 listing[[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-tatung-tcs-5000-personal-computer-1860520565]])) ((DT wiki page archive[[https://wiki.themk.org/index.php/Tatung_TCS-5000]])) |

| ==== Construction ==== | ==== Construction ==== |
| === Case and Internals === | === Case and Internals === |
| Talk about the case and what's inside the case! Such as PCB, plate or no plate, daughterboards, etc | The keyboard consists of three parts: a ABS top case, painted steel bottom case, and an internal assembly |
| | ==Top case== |
| | The top housing is made of ABS plastic\\ Externally, it has a sort of raised "ridge" around the keys that slopes upward at the top and serves as a pen holder. The top right has a lock-light sticker.\\ As of writing, there are no internal pictures of the top housing documented. |
| | ==Bottom case== |
| | The bottom housing is made of painted steel.\\ The bottom varies slightly externally between the two models:\\ The DFK-700F1 has no AT/XT switch cutout and features four feet in total: two non-slip feet and two flip-out feet for adjusting the keyboard's angle.\\ The DFK-700F2 has a AT/XT switch cutout and six feet in total: four non-slip feet, and two flip-out feet.\\ They also differ slightly in the markings on the bottom: The DFK-700F1 is only documented as having a country of origin stamp in it's bottom right corner, while the DFK-700F2 has that plus QA and S/N stickers. \\ As of writing, only a sliver of the internal bottom housing of the DFK‑700F2 has been documented; it shows the AT/XT switch PCB and two rubber feet repurposed to prevent the PCB from shorting. |
| | ==Assembly== |
| | The assembly consists of two parts: A PCB and steel switch mounting plate.\\ As of writing, only the DFK-700F2's PCB has been documented. It has markings that show the keyboard's manufacturer (Datacomp), a manufacture date, and a model number 'DFK-700F2', with another marking below specifying it as 'Version 2.0'. |
