Title: SUM USB Keyboard adapter for Amiga 1200
Post by: AmigaOldskooler on January 26, 2022, 09:15:12 PM

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck connecting the Sum USB keyboard adapter for Amiga 1200 to a USB mouse/keyboard switch?

Considering a Checkmate case and want to share keyboard and mouse with the PC, like I do with my MorphOS setup. :)

If anyone knows about such a solution, then I'd be very happy to hear about it. Thanks in advance.  8)

sorry, but nope. i've had no luck beyond single device keyboard only. it doesn't seem to like "mini-hub" combo keyboard mouse units... or at least not the logitech/dell rebranded ones i've got access to...

A bit late, but I've used the SUM 1200 on two A1500+ builds using a Rii mechanical keyboard. They worked beautifully as did an old Corsair. iComp.de sell a Lyra 1200 that works well too

Hi and thanks for the info!  :) I was considering the SUM, but ended up with the Lyra 3. Glad to hear that it works well. Have not installed it yet, but it is on the to-do-list here.
