| The keyboard consists of three parts: a top case, a bottom case and an internal assembly. | 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. | 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. | 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'. | 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.
