The shells were designed by [[KID]] (Kiska Industrial Design) and made by an Austrian manufacturer. Keycaps in the lower half of the keyboard are double shots and pad-printed from [[Cherry]]. The following keys are pad-printed: function keys (front-printing), Break (Pause), Num-Lock, Caps-Lock. All the keys on the upper half are [[relegendable key|relegendable]]. ==Variants== *DE, NO, Italian and US layout with or without trackball. *All known variants come with [[MX Clear]]s and [[n-key rollover]]. No other keyboards with this case have been discovered yet. Some of the keyboards with German layout have a swapped y and z key, leading to keycaps with wrong shape in the respective rows. When mounted correctly the resulting layout is German with 'qwerty' on row 2. ==Features== At least the [[function keys]] are programmable by using a proprietary software. The main keyfield, F-row, and the trackball work without modifications. The top-left button on the trackball works as a middle click for scrolling. The top-right and bottom-right are left-click and right-click respectively. The bottom-left button toggles the led on the trackball, and changes the left-click and right-click into toggle switches. ==Gallery== [[File:SkiData_001.jpg|640px|thumb|left|German layout with trackball.]] [[File:SkiData_003.jpg|640px|thumb|left|Norwegian layout without trackball.]] {{-}} ==How to disassemble== Turn it upside down. Make sure it is on a smooth surface, so nothing gets scratched! Undo all screws, turn it up again and lift up the cover. ==See also== *[[G80-1800]] [[Category:Keyboards with integrated pointing device]] [[Category:Cherry terminal keyboards]] [[Category:Big terminal keyboards]] [[Category:Programmable keyboards]] [[Category:Keyboards with Cherry MX switches]] [[Category:List of all keyboards]]
