'''KB-7001''' is a fixed-position, split-layout single body ergonomic keyboard from [[Unikey]]. 
It has been sold under several different brands.
Models numbered '''KB-7061''' are believed to be the same keyboard, and it is unclear if there is any difference.

==Description==
Unlike most keyboards of this type, the keyboard is flat with no [[Ergonomic_keyboard#Tenting|tenting]].
There are two separate space bars, one per side, and the [[Control key|Control]] and [[Alt key|Alt]] keys and the [[Space bar]] are all adjacent. Other than this, the layout is typical [[Asian 101]]. The keycaps are [[Tai-Hao TI series]] cylindrical double-shot.

Two-stage feet are provided.

==Variants==
The keyboard has been sold under different brands.

The earliest example found is a Chicony-branded keyboard dated "1993" with FCC ID FMA44H, which means that it could have been made by [[NTC]] before NTC's manufacturing became part of Unikey (a part of Chicony).

Example from 1995 or 1996. Despite the date, there are no [[Windows key]]s present. The connector is reported to have been DIN-5 before being replaced with a PS/2 plug.

The switches are given as "ALPS 簡易軸" (Alps simple shaft) and have white or colourless sliders, indicating [[Alps SKBM White]]; the Chicony examples use [[Alps SKCM White]].
