'''Focus FK-2001''' is a family of [[Alps SKCL/SKCM series]] and [[Alps clone]] keyboards from [[Focus Electronic]] for [[IBM Personal Computer|IBM PCs]] and compatibles. The original FK-2001 keyboard was [[XT/AT switchable]], and used [[Alps SKCM Blue]] switches. The keyboard protocol is selected via a [[DIP switch]] concealed below the badge.

Later FK-2001 keyboards included the [[Windows key]], and various switches were used during the keyboard's lifetime.

A similar keyboard, the [[Focus FK-2002]], exists with an [[ISO]] layout. It appears that it was never manufactured with the same variety of switches and layouts as the FK-2001.

==Layout==
There are at least four layouts:

*[[Focus layout]]: short right shift, with backslash right of shift<ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/beginner-introduction-t1987.html Beginner Introduction]</ref>
*[[Asian 102]]: Blank key between left ctrl and alt, and backslash between right ctrl and alt<ref>Overclock.net — [http://www.overclock.net/products/focus-fk-2001/reviews Focus FK-2001 Reviews]</ref>

All three versions feature a [[enter key|bigass enter]] key.
