'''Tai-Hao TH-5150''' is one of Tai-Hao's oldest keyboards.

==Description==
The case of TH-5150 resembles that of [[SKB-5150C]] but there are some subtle differences between the two: TH-5150 lacks an XT/AT switch and the LED panel has Scroll Lock and Power On rather than just Power On for the TH-5150.

The keycaps are similar to the ones on the [[Chicony KB-5170]].{{citation needed}} The standard ANSI keys are double-shot moulded, and the region-specific keycaps are pad-printed. These Cherry-style [[Tai-Hao TH series]] keycaps were also manufactured by Tai-Hao, and are reported to be Tai-Hao profile instead of Cherry profile.<ref name="TH-20170308" /> The layout is [[F AT]], but it lacks the [[stepped]] keycaps.

According to Tai-Hao, the switches were sourced from a long-defunct Japanese manufacturer whose name may be "Katano". TH-5150 is their only keyboard to use these switches.<ref name="TH-20170308" /> The space bar features an all white version of the switch with heavier weighting.

Like other similarly-named keyboards, 5150 likely derives from the model number of the original IBM Personal Computer (IBM model 5150).
