Might also try:
Select * from Productionwhere ISNULL(DeviceName,'Keyboard') = 'Keyboard'
and Owner = 'Mark'
however, this does not use an index for DeviceName.
While this approach is a little easier to understand than Keith's it is also nonSARGable which means you have a query that will not be able to use any indexing on DeviceName. 😉
