In Stargate SG-1 S10E6 “200”, during the puppet bit, there is a quick shot with Walter typing on a computer by wiggling his puppet hands over the keyboard. If you pause and look at the keyboard, a bunch of the keys spell out “ALEX SUCKS DICKS”.
This is likely an inside joke at the expense of the writer and script coordinator Alex Levine. Or perhaps they were actually advertising their own services.
The model M has two-layered keycaps. The top surface with the printing mounts onto a smaller blank keycap underneath. Changing the layout doesn’t even require tools, you can just pull them off by hand.

DICKSkeys? It does look a little smaller than the rest, so that makes sense that this key was just missing the top layer.You’re right that is the inner cap only. It is slightly smaller.
Here’s a closeup of my keyboard that shows the difference up close.
