"ORTEK MAC-105" appears on the PCB of one such keyboard, but another variant has "KB205-5" written on the PCB<ref name="Power-User-105" /> β there may be more than one product and potentially a change of OEM. The keyboard is possibly styled after the contemporary [[Apple Extended Keyboard]], but with a more modern look that would subsequently be used by Apple with the [[AppleDesign Keyboard]]. The Apple logo on the [[command key]] is typically either absent, or replaced with a stylised 'O' (two variants found to date) suggesting "Ortek", or with the SIIG logo. The shape of the case varies between different customer products. For example, the case of the Adesso AEK-105 is much more rounded than that of the Power User 105 depicted below.<ref name="gh-Adesso" /> Some variants have a [[Futaba lock]] switch under [[Caps Lock]] instead of a normal Alps switch. Some variants have complicated [[Alps SKCM White]] switches with the simplified Alpsβstyle numbering; despite speculation that these may be counterfeit products, the internals are indeed genuine complicated Alps with a short white [[switchplate]]. The FCC ID is widely misprinted on these keyboards; the grantee code of GM8 was mistyped as "GMB", and "MAC" was erroneously written as "MAK". ==Variants== {| class="wikitable" ! Product !!
