Type 1

This is the original and most common keyboard type, with an aluminium plate and Futaba MR-6C series switches. This appears to have been manufactured from the 1981 to 1984. The OEM was Wong's. The keycaps were manufactured by Comptec; this is not only evident from the design, but Signature Plastics have confirmed that Wong's was a major customer.[6] "Keytop set 'Comtec'" [sic] (£20.83) and "Spacebar (Comtec)" (£0.66) are listed in a catalogue, but the specific keyboard for which it was intended is not given.[7]
