I would have figured as such. Any way to get a photo of the back? Kind-of going down nostalgia lane with this.

For a membrane keyboard it was LOUD to the point my brother pushed me so hard to use a ‘quieter keyboard’ that my old one ‘disappeared mysteriously’ forcing me to get another. I did have to hand it to the keyboard durability though. It survived a good 10+ years of use with regular maintenance.

As a cat owner I can completely relate with the power/sleep buttons. This was during a time when sleep mode often resulted in the system hardlocking during waking and resulting in completely breaking your session with an ill fated “hold 5 seconds to force ACPI shutdown” routine. It was such an egregiously poor decision for an extended feature I still wonder why it existed on the keyboard.

On the flip side, the keyboard did support KBPO [keyboard power-on] so that may be the partial reason for the power button.

This brings me back - that looks to be the exact keyboard I started out on with my first PC build back in '98. However, it was still a membrane at the time from what I remember so probably not the same.

The main thing that has stuck with me most from it was the block above the arrow keys and how it’s positioned one row lower. It has become the layout I’ve preferred ever since and finding a mech keyboard with that layout [but in ANSI instead] is near impossible save for very few hard to find models.
