Keyboard Model Numbers & Feature Codes
This is a list of various marketing model numbers and feature codes IBM and family used for their keyboards. Model numbers were sometimes used as a more consumer-friendly identifier for keyboards compared to part numbers, as model numbers are not language/layout exclusive like part numbers. Alternatively, feature codes were 4 or so digit codes IBM sometimes assigned to its products for use when ordering a product.
Note
This page excludes most Model B, Model F and Model M designations as they were not typically used as part of their respective keyboards' standard consumer marketing. To learn about these overarching models and others like them, please refer to the Major Typerwriter & Keyboard Models topic.
