==Trivia==
As with the [[Chicony KB-5181|Chicony KB-5182]], Chicony registered an FCC ID for the ISO KB-5192: E8H5IKKB-5192. However, the labels printed on keyboards appear to mostly bear the ANSI layout model number's FCC ID.<ref>E-Bay Kleinanzeigen [https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/wunderschoene-vintage-tastatur-mit-echtem-kork-einzelstueck-chicony/1758846382-225-4715]</ref>
