Title: recommended PS/2 keyboard?
Post by: Kremlar on October 22, 2015, 06:15:46 PM

Finally getting around to setting up my FPGA Arcade and I'm looking for a PS/2 keyboard to go along with it.  As much as I'd love to fund the key cap Kickstarter, those keyboards are way out of my budget for the amount of use it would get.

I saw AmigaKit sells this keyboard that is more in my price range:

Can anyone comment on the quality?  Is it decent?

Any other options worth considering?

Thanks!

I have that AmigaKit keyboard for my Chameleon, and while it has an Amiga Logo...

I use this with my FPGA arcade: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genius-KB06XE-Keyboard-PS-Black/dp/B001V9CSLI

I got the mouse set for only £7.99 but it's currently out of stock

I have the AmigaONE for my A1200, and it works fine.

The Design is very much like the Logitec one I got for my Wintel PC, and I like the size and form of it.

Quality; hard to judge beyond comfort level. It hasnt faulted me yet, but Ive only owned it for a little over a year.

Thanks guys.  I ended up biting the bullet and going with a Roswell keyboard and ordering some keycaps from the Kickstarter.

Only a few hours left!
