The {{lang|ru|'''Электроника БК-0010'''}} is the first model (originally released in 1983, serial production started in 1985). It has a pseudo-[[membrane keyboard]] (an array of mechanical microswitches without keycaps, covered by flexible overlay), 32 [[KiB]] RAM, 8 KiB ROM with BIOS (chip K1801RE2-017), 8 KiB ROM with [[FOCAL (programming language)|FOCAL]] [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] (K1801RE2-018), 8 KiB ROM with debugger (K1801RE2-019) and one free ROM slot, and its CPU is clocked at 3 MHz. A [[tape recorder]] is used for data storage in the factory configuration.

This model was criticized for its uncomfortable keyboard – while [[Keyboard technology#Mechanical-switch keyboard|mechanical]] in nature, lack of keycaps lead to the same unsatisfactory tactile response, that was seen as unacceptable when the machine was used in home or educational settings, although such keyboard could be easily sealed fully, so this version found wide use as an [[Industrial PC|industrial controller]]. Other points of criticism included the FOCAL programming language supplied by default instead of the more common BASIC and the lack of peripherals and software. While all hardware was well-documented and easy to work with, the machine was delivered with no programming tools.
