An Apple Mac keyboard with the classic PC arrangement of keys. The caplock key and the control key were reversed, and the escape key was not a standard key size. This keyboard was unused, but could be plugged into a Mac Mini, an iMac, or a Mac Pro.

A Sun Microsystems keyboard was in use as the keyboard for a 2012 Mac Pro. An identical Sun Microsystems keyboard (not shown) was in use as the keyboard for a Sun Microsystems Ultra 2500 computer. Notice that the Control and Caplocks keys were in the correct positions, and the escape key was a regular key size.
