The SKB-5050 was an AT keyboard produced by Podworld and was presumably the predecessor to the SKB-5150.

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

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.

Externally, it has an AT/XT switch cutout, QC sticker, “sup” sticker (likely 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 two non-slip feet

The assembly consists of a PCB and a painted steel switch mounting plate which 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 a 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.

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