An RFE maybe, although maybe it is more appropriate upstream?   I honestly
don't know.

I have run into the problem as well, not knowing which of 10 models actually 
matched the keyboard in front of me.   Not sure how to make it easier unless
each and every keyboard model can be listed explicitly somehow.   

The cat's meow would be to have pictures of each keyboard too; would that 
be legal?
