Some keys on Amiga Keyboard are not working (A1200NG, OS3.2.3)
« on: December 03, 2025, 10:15:48 PM »
Hi!

I'm new to the A1200NG. And I have a question and hope someone can help me:
I have running AmigaOS 3.2.3 on my 1200NG. My keyoard is a new mechanical keyboard from Amigastore.eu built for real Amiga 1200 with US layout.

Problem: the backslash key is not working or, at least, nothing happens when I press on that key.

If I switch layout of the keyboard, for example, to german then I see characters on screen when pressing the \ | key. But neither with US nor with GB layout. Also the "(" and the ")" keys on the numberpad aren't working.
A problem is that I don't have an Amiga 1200 with OS3.2.3 to test the keyboard on real hardware.

Does anybody has an idea? Any help is welcome... because otherwise I can't use and create blitzbasics custom types  ::)

You may need to perform the same thing in the Amiberry configuration, it's based on WinUAE.
I'll have to check if the number pad bracket keys are a problem too, I don't typically use those.
That sounds interesting. Could you tell me where I find the configuration file of the A1200NG? I didn't even get any documentation with my A1200NG board  :(.

Another in the "I don't have working real A1200 hardware to test if my 30 odd year old keyboard is knackered" club.
;D My Amiga keyboard is a brand new one  8).

I have a (real) A500+ (over 30 years old). But as I know the keyboard is not compatible (or at least the cables arn't)?!  ::)
