Title: WTB: A2000, A3000 or A4000 Keyboard
Post by: Lurker on August 20, 2017, 03:07:11 AM

Hi everyone. I'm in need of a keyboard for an A3000. Though I believe an A2000 or A4000 keyboard would work too. Preferably a US key layout. If you know of any, please reach out to me. Many thanks!

Either you pay outrageous prices on fleabay for an old one or find a new one from Loreno. He is here just look him up. Cherry switches, the bomb!

The A2000 uses the larger DIN plug, i.e. this will not work without an adapter, unfortunately.

A3000 uses the larger DIN, same as A2000, but A4000 kb will need an adapter (any cheapo PC adapter from DIN5->PS/2 will do).

Any cheap PC big-DIN to little-DIN adapter will work fine.  I've been using an A4000 keyboard with my A2000 for years.  ;)
