Podworld 292 refers to two or more types of keyboard manufactured with FCC ID "HEU 292". On some boards this is apparently misspelt as "HEW 292". FCC grantee "HEU" is Podworld, and this provides the only manufacturer identification for these keyboards. In one instance, the PCB used was "made in Japan", in another, a model number of PT-605D was given by the manual;[1] in all other cases, the keyboard can only be identified by its FCC ID.
Podworld 292 keyboards all appear to have different varieties of KPT-like switches.
