Id this Kaypro keyboard?

I have this Kaypro keyboard but don't know which model it belongs to!

Kaypro 4. Both the 1983 and 1984 versions of the Kaypro 4 had that color motif.

I think it's the same keyboard used for Kaypro 10 and Kaypro 2X rev.3 as well?

Kaypro used different motifs at different times, and they did a lot of mix-n-match for their hardware when shipping items. But, I don't believe they changed the functionality of their keyboards so it probably would operate on any model. Many of their machines had that color motif, mostly the ones produced from late 1984 onward. I have an earlier 2X (Aug 1984) model that uses the blue motif. But there were some 1983 models (built in 1984 or later) that also shipped with that dark gray motif. In this case, you really can't "judge a book by it's cover"... in order to really know what model Kaypro you have you must examine the mainboard.

That's my understanding as well. Regardless of what model the keyboard came from, it should work on any other CP/M model.
