Focus FK-2002 is the ISO equivalent of the Focus FK-2001.

Description
The FK-2002 appears to be a rare ISO version of the popular FK-2001. As a product targeted to the European market, there is no FCC ID on the rear label. No version with Windows keys appears to exist, and the only confirmed switches are Alps SKCM Blue, Alps SKCM White[1] and Futaba MA series.[2] This is in stark contrast to the wide variety of switches and layouts used for the FK-2001.
The keyboard has an AT/XT switch in a small compartment hidden under the badge plate. Some earlier revisions of the FK-2002 have DIP-switches hidden under the right foot instead of the AT/XT switch under the label.
Some revisions also feature an "inverse / normal" switch on the rear side of the keyboard for switching the positions of the Caps Lock and left Control buttons. The keycaps are double-shot with coloured modifier legends.
Like many FK-2001 keyboards, the FK-2002 came with a brown built-in dust cover that also doubles as a paper holder.
OEM branding
Six different badge plates have been discovered so far:
- Akhter (United Kingdom layout ?)[3]
- High Screen (German layout)[4]
- Unbranded, Norwegian layout (came with a TIKI 100 computer)[Citation needed]
- Multitronic (ISO German layout)
- ESCOM (French AZERTY or German QWERTZ layout) with pad-printed keycaps.[5] It has been suggested that a version without pad-printed keycaps exists. (See talk page)
- Enhanced Keyboard (UK ISO layout)[1]
