      Looks like a Tektronix 4002A terminal. Perhaps the screen frame was blacked out, but the shape, the bezel, and the white accents on the keyboard are a dead giveaway. https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Tektronix_4002 … pic.twitter.com/udRKdUXMvx

      OK, clearly the problem is that everyone is sending you retro-cool keyboards from an era when each was unique. Let's see how you fare with some 21st century mid-range numbers (AKA, all the keyboards in my apartment), including the one I'm typing on right now. Happy Saturday!pic.twitter.com/p8zIQ14Oj1

      A full-size desktop keyboard with number pad and function keys and so on. Dark gray keys, silver case, big sans-serif lettering, extra round-dot keys about the function keys.
      A silver Apple-branded laptop keyboard. The keys only take up about half of the laptop base, with plenty of room around the trackpad at the bottom.
      Another laptop keyboard. Dark gray and black, with alternate functions on the keys in orange lettering. There's a tracker ball tucked in the middle with matching mouse buttons below the space bar. But there's also a proper trackpad below that.

      1) The brand under the sticky note is Compaq, but maybe it was also sold as HP? Model # SDM4700P 2) Got the dimensions right, but it's not a PowerBook, it's a MacBook Pro. But I can see how they look the same to the untrained eye… https://www.flickr.com/photos/wicho/106790354 … 3) So close!!! E6420

      BTW, what is the piece missing that you will now be able to use to distinguish turn-of-the-millennium HP and Compaq keyboards?

      Ah, yeah, HP bought Compaq, so there must have been some cross-polination. HP’s top is black! It’s interesting – in my head PowerBook didn’t survive the transition to Intel, but it seems there have been around until 2012.

      After looking more, some of the HP *and* Compaq versions had black tops, and other didn’t. Interesting.pic.twitter.com/3R7qZUXWLO

          Oh, I see. That's a removeable label. The clear plastic flips up so you can customize the button labels underneath. My version has icons for website shortcut keys, email and info and search, a shopping cart and so on. (I just flipped the label over, since I never used them.)
