Amiga 600 Keyboard Question
« on: May 12, 2020, 12:17:19 AM »
I was wondering who knows what keyboards the A600's shipped?
I have two units, one has a what looks like a UK keyboard and the other seems to have a Spanish keyboard.
Google and Bing did not help.
Thanks.

How could I find out how many different Keyboards were made for the A600?
If I were change the key caps and picked a US layout, would that work?
It sounds like it would.
I need to buy 2 mice and 2 power supplies.
Hopefully I can get either a CF adapter or SD Card adapter to replace the missing HDD's
I still have Amiga PiDrive and hope it works well.
Thanks for letting me ramble.

Thanks, when I get a power supply and a boot disk I will take a look at it to see what I need to do.

I am curios about typing using my A600's.
Thankfully there are replacement parts for my UK keyboard.
Are these keyboards good for daily typing?

Are there any mechanical replacements?
CherryMX comes to mind.

Qwerty, UK, US
Qwertz, German
Azerty, France
This is what I have found out so far.

I need two plungers, springs, and two key caps, F1 and tilde.

The one with Ñ-key is Spanish, I would think.
