'''Acer KB-101A''' is an Alps keyboard from Acer. The ISO version is model '''KB-102A'''.<ref name="eBay-KB-102A" />

KB-101A/102A seems to be externally identical to [[Acer 6010 series]]. The case design is also shared with some [[Acer 6310 series]] keyboards.

The FCC application for the KB-101A was last updated in January 1988. The FCC application for the 6010 series appears to have been made in August 1988. The KB-101A/102A series appears to be substantially less common than the 6010 series.
