Cherry INITIAL is a series of low-cost rubber dome keyboards from Cherry. In black models, the case around the alphanumeric cluster is gloss finish, while the rest of the shell is matte finish. There are four media keys at the top eight, with green legends: play/pause, volume down ("−"), mute, and volume up ("+"). The top row keys are reduced in depth, and the gaps between the function keys are removed to allow for a 13th key, which is labelled with a calculator symbol. The indicator lights are in front of the space bar, above the Cherry logo.
The box depicted below appears to give a model of "G82-27000", while the keyboard itself is labelled "G270".
The controller PCB was made by Dong Guan New Energy Printed Circuit Board Co., Ltd. (UL File Number E206420) and is branded "NEW ENERGY", while the keyboard as a whole was manufactured by Primax (E134780, found on the rear label). The PCB part number is 654000011410, which follows the format found in the the Primax-made Dell KB1421 and Dell KB212 keyboards.
