{{stub}} {{TODO photo|more=true|reason=US version (KB-5591)}} {{infobox dkeyboard | pn = | fcc = E8HKB-5591 | branding = | manufacturer = [[Chicony]] | switch = [[SMK Alps mount switch]] | layouts = [[ISO]], semi-ISO | features = | interface = [[AT keyboard interface|AT]] (keyboard)<br>[[Serial interface|Serial]] (mouse) | weight = | years = | price = | supersedes = [[Chicony KB-5581]] }} '''Chicony KB-5591''' (semi-ISO)<ref name="F-KB-5591" /> and '''KB-5592''' (ISO) are an [[AT keyboard interface|AT]] keyboards from Chicony with an integrated [[trackball]]. The trackball replaces the [[cursor keys]], and there are three [[mouse button]]s at the front-left of the case. The single cable splits out to AT and serial connectors for the keyboard and trackball respectively. There are four lock LEDs on the keyboard: [[num lock]], [[caps lock]], [[scroll lock]], and cursor lock. In cursor lock mode, the trackball transmits cursor keypresses; the toggle for cursor lock is any Ctrl, any Alt, and the right mouse button on the keyboard.<ref>https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91811.0</ref> To guide the user's fingers, the left mouse button has two small bumps on it, and the right button has a small raised bar. ==Switches== Chicony are infamous for having routinely changed the switches in their mechanical boards. So far, this board has only been seen with [[SMK Alps mount switch]]es. ==Gallery== ===KB-5592, German=== German-layout model with turquoise trackball and curved corners to the trackball module cover. <gallery widths="250" heights="167"> File:Chicony KB-5591 front.JPG | Top File:Chicony KB-5591 back.JPG | Bottom File:Chicony KB-5591 trackball.JPG | Trackball module File:Chicony KB-5591 SMK Alps mount switch.JPG | SMK Alps mount switches File:Chicony KB-5591 input.JPG | Trackball buttons; these are on the left, while the trackball itself is near the right </gallery> ==References== <references> <ref name="F-KB-5591">Flickr β [http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaynoon/5299667800/in/photostream Chicony KB-5591, Montereys]</ref> </references> [[Category:Chicony keyboards]] [[Category:Keyboards with Monterey switches]] [[Category:Keyboards with integrated pointing device]] [[Category:Vintage keyboards]] [[Category:List of all keyboards]]
