Yea unfortunately. My Space and one of my return keys along with the C,V,B keys have died. So just looking for a new one. What price would people recommend paying as I can't really afford too much. Maybe, £10-£15 My Amiga Is A-500. Thanks.

First, take the keyboard out and remove all the never-ending screws from the keyboard's back plate. Take the green membrane out and clean it. re-assemble and see if it works. It could be a broken track but, most of the time this works :)

Thanks for the reply :) I'll take apart and let you know

Even if the membrane is shot you can maybe fix the board by getting a spare one instead of an entire keyboard... I fixed my 1200's this way though the chap who sold it had packaged it very badly (it was creased and crumpled up from being folded up inside a flimsy thin box with no protection - the box arrived basically destroyed) but despite that it worked!
look for amiga 500 'membrane' or 'membraine' or something on ebay, he always seems to have ridiculous typos in his item listings.;)

I've looked on there the best i could find was one listing as I'm trying to get Into my mig currently to try and see. If I can't get It working by a good clean. I will buy the one one ebay as it's fairly cheap :)

If it comes to buying one I do recommend Airey36 as an ebay seller. Everything I've got from him has been bang on.

I have one here you can have for the cost of shipping +1 beer, it's missing one key but working :)
Just PM me if you want it...

Check with Amigakit, I got a NOS USA one for my A1200 and the shipping cost more than the KB... If you are in UK then its definitely worth an email.

Good and bad news really. Bad news was the membrane was dead. Even after a clean It refused to work but the good news was I had an old Keyboard lying around and hooked that up and It now works 1000% :D
