Both PC and Macintosh versions manufactured. The keyboard is green, with pastel shade keycaps in a variety of colours; a matching [[mouse]] is included in the package.<ref name="DT-dinokidz" /> The product name is unclear. Strong Man referred to the Mac version as the "SMK-KIDS Board".<ref name="SM-Mac" /> Their PC keyboards page appeared to refer to it as "Next generation young Keyboard", but the Wayback Machine did not preserve the accompanying photograph.<ref name="SM-PC" /> The keyboard has been confirmed to have [[Alps.tw Type T1]] switches in at least one instance.<ref name="PGR" /> Strong Man themselves described the switches of the unconfirmed PC version as "Advanced mechanical Key Switch", on a page that referred to other switches as "Japan Alps Mechanical Tactile". Based on attempts to translate alps.tw's write-up, and judging by photos of KB-8851, it may also use [[alps.tw Type T5]] switches. ==Variants== ===Filco SMK-8851 DINOγγγγ γ=== The Filco version, "Dino Kaiju" (Dino Monster) offered [[DOS/V]] compatibility in the PC version.<ref name="gh-Filco" /> The box is labelled SMK-8851.<ref name="DT-dinokidz" /> ===Sicon SMK-102 dinokidz=== Model SMK-102 version 1.0 from Sicon International Inc, with "dinokidz" logo.
