Summary
This is a multicoloured keyboard for the Bondi Blue iMac. It has a QWERTY key board with numeric keypad.
This was the first multicoloured keyboard released by Apple.
The various components were colour co-ordinated and allowed third party product development for accessorising personal work spaces e.g. stationery, lamps and desk caddies. The keyboard, mouse and power cord were made from a translucent material - a marketing ploy to make consumers feel that the items were 'honest'.

The keyboard has start/power-on button and on the underside of the casing is a fold out bracket to raise the angle of the keyboard.
