The SKB-5050 was an AT keyboard produced by Podworld((SKB-5150C DT wiki page archive mentioning the SKB-5050 in its manual along with Podworld branded keyboards[[https://wiki.themk.org/index.php/SKB-5150C]]))  and was presumably the predecessor to the SKB-5150.
==== Description ====
Currently, two versions are documented: a standard US English SKB-5050 fully produced by Podworld and a Russian SKB-5050 that uses a third-party PCB.
==== Construction ====
=== Case and Internals ===
The keyboard consists of three parts: a ABS top and bottom case, and an internal assembly
==Top case==
Externally, it has a pen holder and a lock-light sticker in the top-right corner.\\
Internally, it has threaded plastic standoffs for fastening the top and bottom case together and for fastening the assembly to the top case.
==Bottom case==
Externally, it has an AT/XT switch cutout, a QC sticker, a "sup" sticker (likely a date of manufacture sticker), and a sticker with the model number and series number, which is likely a serial number. It also has six total feet: two flip-out feet and four non-slip feet
Internally, it has a cutout for the DIN-5 cable.
==Assembly==
The assembly consists of a PCB and a painted steel switch mounting plate that is cross-compatible between SMK Vintage Linear and Cherry MX.\\
The top of the PCB has a PD-18 marking, and the top of the switch mounting plate has SKB 5050 stamped into it under where the spacebar would go.\\
The bottom of the PCB has a PD-18 marking and a sticker of unknown use.

=== Keycaps ===
The keycaps are made by Tai-Hao in their TH profile and are a mix of ABS doubleshots and pad-prints.
