The [[Keyboard (computing)|keyboard]] for [[IBM PC-compatible]] computers is standardized. However, during the more than 30 years of PC architecture being frequently updated, many [[keyboard layout]] variations have been developed.

A well-known class of IBM PC keyboards is the [[Model M keyboard|Model M]]. Introduced in 1984 and manufactured by [[IBM]], [[Lexmark]], Maxi-Switch and [[Unicomp]], the vast majority of Model M keyboards feature a [[buckling spring]] key design and many have fully swappable [[keycap]]s.
