This model is targeted towards gamers, and features optional high-grip [[Tai-Hao rubber double-shot series|rubber keys]] on the [[WASD]] and [[cursor keys]] (typically orange, but also found in red). ==Description== F21-7D is derived from [[Tai-Hao F21HQ|model F21HQ]], itself derived from [[Tai-Hao TH-5539-8]] (AKA model APC-8).<ref name="TH-C1" /> The specification differs between OEM customers; features advertised include 18-key rollover (found to be 8KRO during testing) and programmability. The keycaps are black with laser printing. In most cases, the layout is [[Asian 101]]; however, the AZiO Levetron Clicker has an [[ISO enter]] key, although the layout itself is not [[ISO]] (left shift is full size and the keyboard only has 104 keys).<ref name="CustomPC-KB528U" /> The keyboard is cited (albeit not by Tai-Hao themselves) to have "fully programmable keys" and "10 profiles" but this is not well-documented.<ref name="Rosewill-RK6000" /><ref name="Clicker-F21-7D" /> The [[keyboard controller]] is a glop-top chip-on-board IC on a small PCB, very similar to that used in modern [[membrane keyboard]]s. ==Variants== Multiple companies have sold this keyboard under their own brands. Tai-Hao also sell the keyboard under their own Clicker brand. {| class="wikitable" ! Brand/model !! Switches !!

The rubber WASD and arrow keys are non-optional with this variant.
