Like other similarly-named keyboards, 5150 likely derives from the model number of the original IBM Personal Computer (IBM model 5150).

The layout is F AT, but it lacks the stepped keycaps on some versions of the keyboard, although stepped Alt and Caps Lock (but not Control) are depicted on the box.
