keyboards DC‐2014 Keyboard The Leading Edge DC‐2014 keyboard was a mechanical keyboard that was generally bundled with the Model D computer. Due to it having been bundled with the Model D, it was therefore the most ubiquitous of Leading Edge's keyboards. The keyboard was an XT interface, with blue Alps key‐switches and 83 keys. The overall design of the keyboard was a simple rectangular beige plastic case with adjustable feet on the bottom. Directly above the top row of keys was a pen or pencil holder that extended about 75% of the length of the keyboard starting from the right. Although the DC‐2014 keyboard was bundled with what was often considered a budget computer, the keyboard had such a high‐quality build that in the present, it is often sought after to use with a modern computer or have parts harvested for a custom keyboard.
