The keyboard layouts were similar to the [[Apple Standard Keyboard]]s of the time, with some differences: * Instead of a numeric keypad, most computers had a trackball in its place. The trackball or keypad could be mounted on either the right or the left side of the alphanumeric keyboard. There are ribbon cables in the left and right corners, for which the numpad and the trackball module each has a connector but the alphanumeric keyboard has two. * The ANSI layout keyboard is similar to the [[Apple M0116]] but instead of a backwards-L [[Return key]], there is a horizontal Return key and a \ key. The key on the bottom row (\ key on the M0116) is an [[Option key]]. * ISO keyboards are similar to the [[Apple M0118]] but use a [[Alps SKCL Compact]] switch under the slim [[Return key]]. ==Switches== *'''Model M5120''' contains either [[Alps SKCM Orange]]<ref name="Switches"/> or [[Alps SKCM Salmon]]<ref name="Switches"/> switches. *'''Model M5126''' (Backlit version) contains [[Alps SKCM Ivory]]<ref name="Switches"/> switches. ==Forum Threads== * [https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18667 Apple Macintosh Portable (enclosure and conversion)] ==External Links== * Wikipedia: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Portable Macintosh Portable] * OldComptutr: [https://www.oldcomputr.com/apple-macintosh-portable-backlit-1991/ Apple Macintosh Portable (backlit, 1991)] ==References== <references> <ref name="Switches">Deskthority β [https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=16148 Macintosh Portable keyboards / keypad] Posted 2017-03-17.</ref> </references> [[Category:Apple keyboards]] [[Category:Computers]] [[Category:Keyboards with Alps SKCL/SKCM switches]] [[Category:Vintage keyboards]] [[Category:List of all keyboards]]
