The RESET key is so well-hidden it's not even visible in the first picture. In the second picture, you can see the notch along the back of the keyboard near the numeric keypad. In the third picture, with the cover removed, you can how the key extends backward at a perpendicular angle.
You're never going to hit that thing by mistake. You might not even realize it exists until someone points it out to you.
- Someone 4y agoOn the first Mac, you had to attach the hardware for the reset ‘key’ yourself, if you wanted one. See photo “3 of 3” on https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_334371 https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nma... for the part you had to insert. The two ‘prongs’ reached two switches for NMI and reset inside the Mac.
