The ST ikbd (intelligent keyboard) microcontroller derives its timing
information from the crystal clock, not the power line frequency, so it
will be the same world-wide.

I should point out that the ST power supply only provides DC voltages to
ST power connector... so the ST's keyboard would not know what the power
line frequency was.
