'''Chicony KB-5160''' is a series of keyboards from [[Chicony]], styled after the [[IBM Model F]] AT.

==Description==
The case is shallower front-to-back than the Model F, but the layout is identical.

The KB-5160 was followed by the [[Chicony KB-5161]], which took on the overall [[IBM Enhanced Keyboard|IBM Model M]] key layout, but retained the single-[[unit]] [[backspace key]] and big-ass [[enter key]] of the Model F and 5160.

While this keyboard is typically referred to as the "5160", the PCB<ref name="KBT" /> and plate both describe the product as the "KB-5160".
