| The series, as far as is known, shares the same construction. The keyboards use white [[switch:itw_magnetic_valve|ITW Magnetic Valve]] low-profile switches, and have thick, [[terminology:dye_sublimation|dye-sublimated]] PBT keycaps. They also have a rather loud buzzer, and a bank of LEDs inbetween the function row and alpha block. The keyboard uses a 1200 baud serial protocol ((https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24147)) | The series, as far as is known, shares the same construction.

| The PCB is marked "PERICOM PLC" but appears similar to other ITW Magnetic Valve circuit boards, therefore the original manufacturer of the keyboard module is currently unknown. However, it is reasonable to assume that the cases were manufactured by Pericom. | The PCB is marked "PERICOM PLC" but appears similar to other ITW Magnetic Valve circuit boards, therefore the original manufacturer of the keyboard module is currently unknown.
