==== Description ====
The Datacomp DFK-777 was one of Datacomp's AT keyboard models. \\ It often appears rebranded by computer companies such as Computerland and Ultra From Imagineering.((Worthpoint archive of eBay listing [[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/datacomp-dfk777-blue-alps-keyboard-1978775053]])). \\
It's been documented to come with two different switches: SKCM Blue Alps and Futaba MA. ((DT Wiki Archive [[https://wiki.themk.org/index.php/Datacomp_DFK777]])) It features a AT/XT switch and DIN-5 cable.
==== Construction ====
=== Case and Internals ===
The keyboard consists of 3 parts: A top case, a bottom case and a internal assembly.
The top case externally features a sort of raised "ridge" around the alphanumeric block that turns into a slope around the top of the cluster and serves as a pen holder. The top right hasa locklight sticker.\\ Internally, it features standoffs for screws with brass screw inserts, standoffs for holding the case in place and the flip-out feet mechanism.
The bottom case is made out of a painted metal that can rust which implies it's made out of steel.\\ Externally, it features a cutout for the AT/XT switch, a sticker for said switch, a S/N sticker, a country of origin stamped in the bottom right and six total feet: four being non-slip feet and two flip-out feet for adjusting the keyboard's angle.\\ The Futaba variant features an extra sticker with the keyboard's FCC ID on it\\ Internally, it has a PCB for the AT/XT switch and a couple pieces of rubber and tape to prevent the assembly PCB from shorting.
The assembly consists of a PCB and painted metal switch plate. The switch plate can rust which implies it's made of steel.\\ On the back of the keyboard PCB there is a cable soldered to it that connects to the AT/XT switch PCB.
=== Keycaps ===
The keycaps are made of doubleshot ABS on both variants. The Futaba variant uses distinctive "tombstone" keycaps, and the Alps version uses regular Alps OEM profile keycaps.
