Anyone happen to know...

On the show NCIS, there's a character named Abby & she uses (I think) an illuminated keyboard. What make is this one?

I didn't watch the show (I don't really watch network TV), but if the key letters were illuminated and not the keys themselves than it's probably a vandal-resistant model.

if the keys were translucent it could be any one of a handful of consumer level models.

Yep. Vandal-resistant keyboards are pricy and you really only see them used for public access kiosks, industrial manufacturing control, or military applications. I can only imagine what it would be like to own a precisely machined stainless steel keyboard.
