Description
The 5170 was the AT layout keyboard produced by Advanced Datum Information (ADI).
Currently two models of the 5170 are documented, the KM-5170 with Cherry MX Black switches and KI-5170 with ADI Inductive switches.
Of note is the fact most documented examples of this keyboard have been found in Europe and most documented re-badges are for European computer brands which suggests this keyboard was primarily produced for the European market.
Construction
Case and Internals
Keycaps
The keycaps are ABS doubleshot and use pad printing for region specific sub legends.
The font and profile of these key caps is shared by several other keyboards, primarily Hottek ones, which suggests ADI did not manufacture them.
