WASD Keyboards - Amiga layout

[Matt_H]

Seems like it's only customization of the keycaps, not the physical layout of the keys which is what we'd need to create a "real" Amiga keyboard. But they do offer custom-printed keys - I certainly wouldn't mind a few LAmiga/RAmiga keys on my PC keyboard. Question is whether they can be plugged onto other keyboards, or just their own.

WASD are quality keyboards, using cherry mx switches.

I have mulled over contacting Unicomp and seeing if they would build an amiga keyboard:

I think a nice buckling spring would be the best analogue for an old A2000/A4000 Keyboard.  They'd need to knock the Fkey count down to 10, get rid of menu key and some other stuff, and figure out the controller chip cos they aren't exactly the same as a pc keyboard.  Maybe if we could scrabble together a group buy they might stamp out a few.

If they can get a true Amiga physical layout out of it, I'm inclined to let them slide on the controller part - that's why we have the Lyra (and similar) adapters.

Seriously, though, I'd buy at least 2 re-implemented Amiga keyboards.

If you want authentic looking 'A'miga keys, there is an option to upload custom graphics. It would make the keyboard more expensive but a little mor familiar. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/individual-custom-keycaps/custom-keycap.html

Yeah, that's why I wondered if their keys were compatible with other keyboards. I'd convert my whole fleet of PC keyboards, whether they're hooked up to Amigas or not
