It's hard to believe IBM made the Model F and the PCjr keyboard at the same time. I cannot think of two different products.

YES indeed, the Model-F was designed by Engineers and the PCjr by inept Accountants.

The result is very obvious to anyone who follows IBM Folklore  8) .

I feel creative and I would like to reuse the case for a 60%ish keyboard. Does anyone know how much room there is in the inside?
