I also have an A500 with C= key and red light, and 1.2 in ROM... The feel of the keyboard is different to the later models - I wondered why, but now I know!

But it isn't the same. The C= keyboard has individual key switches.

The clicky feel of the big box keyboards comes from the rubber cups under the keys instead of the thin metal springs that are present in the bitty box keyboards.


hmm..I have two A3000 keyboards and only one of them has the same feel/click sound as my early A500
The other A3000 keyboard sound/feels exactly like my 4 A4000 keyboards
