==Introduction==
The '''Focus FK-8000''' is an out-of-production standard (full) size keyboard by [[Focus Electronic]]. It has the same standard layout of the [[Focus FK-2001]], but, in addition, it also integrates the calculator from the [[Focus FK-5001]]<ref name="Trent">Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/photos-videos-f8/fk-8000-t2027.html FK8000!]</ref>.


==Description==
The keyboard is unbranded; the model number can only be found on the label on the bottom. The FK-8000 shares the same revised styling as the FK-5001. One of the selling points of the FK-8000 was the integrated, battery-operated calculator.


==The calculator==
The calculator toggle key—which switches between calculator and numeric keypad—is a [[Futaba lock]] switch.<ref name="Trent" /><ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/question-on-focus-5001-9000-keyboards-t5734.html question on Focus 5001/9000 keyboards]</ref>. The integrated calculator is powered by a 3V battery. (The factory-supplied battery was a Hitachi Maxell CR2032.) The keyboard was shipped with a small round plastic insulator between the battery and its contact to preserve the charge before it was sold, or for long-term storage.

==Switches==
During its production years, the '''Focus FK-8000''' featured a variety of switches under the same FCC ID, which is not that unusual but it makes it somewhat harder to catalog them all.

*[[Hua-Jie AK series]] for most keys<ref name="Trent" />; lock keys use [[Alps SKCL Yellow]]
*[[Futaba clicky switch]] (Cherry MX mount) which in one instance at least have been found not to click<ref>geekhack — [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=8187.30 new in box alps]</ref>; lock keys use [[Alps SKCL Yellow]] or [[Alps SKCL Green]]<ref>Deskthority - [http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/fk-8000-with-green-skcl-for-lock-keys-t11926.html FK-8000 with Green SKCL for lock keys]</ref>
*White [[Alps.tw_Type_OA2]] for most of the keyboard, [[Alps SKCL Yellow]] for lock switches.
*[[Futaba lock]] Mk II for the calculator toggle key
