Editing Unitek K-258 (section)

==Unitek K-258: Same name, two keyboards==
'''[[Unitek]]''' outsourced the production of K-258 to two Taiwanese OEMs resulting in two different keyboards with the same (model) name:
* [[NTC]] (Nan Tan Computer Co.) manufactured two versions of the K-258 (this keyboard version was also sold/known as NTC KB-6551 as imprinted on its board). The earlier version used a steel plate and [[Alps SKCM White]] switches, while a cheaper version was made with a plastic plate and [[Alps SKBM White]] switches.
* [[Dah Yang]] (Dah Yang Industry Co Ltd) also manufactured a [[Cherry MX Blue]] version of the K-258

Despite sharing the same compact footprint, the two versions use different layouts and have separate FCC IDs. Size-wise, both are approximately 394 x 165 mm / 15.5 x 6.5 inches. An NTC-like version re-appeared some years later as [http://us.ute.com/products_info.php?pc1=88&pc2=176&rbu=5&pid=471 Unite'''''ch''''' K258] ("K258 Rugged Keyboard") with the same layout but with PS/2 connector.
